two free sociable cycle rides Sat March 16th


Recommended Posts

On the 16th we have 2 rides planned. Bruce has a new short ride, Amanda leads one of her regular rides to Kings Cross.

Ride 1. Cemeteries and Hills  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cemeteries-and-hills-cycle-ride-tickets-857381891317 >

10 o’clock start from Peckham Rye Park Café. Bruce leading a new adventurous loop through Nunhead Cemetery, up Hilly Fields, then Brockley and Ladywell Cemetery and Camberwelll New Cemetery, up One Tree Hill, through Camberwell Old Cemetery and finally up Dawsons Heights. Only 8 miles, but several uphills where we may need to walk. Allowing 2½ hours, so plenty of time to walk steep bits and still have a short coffee break. Main adventurous bit is One Tree Hill. This is not a huge hill, but very steep. Paths are nice, but all have steps. If paths are slippery may need to park bikes and walk last sections. Worth it to see the “Oak of Honour” and the WWII gun emplacement. Everyone welcome. Come along and enjoy the challenge!  Provisional map at  https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1tLnUmgp67E91V0Or5n19A5kvUswLINw&usp=sharing

 Ride 2. Peckham to Kings Cross  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/peckham-to-kings-cross-cycle-ride-tickets-857372092007 >

9.30am start from Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY). 3 hour ride. To Kings Cross. Granary Square for a coffee break (in market, under cover) and a bit of a look round.  Outward route Cycleways 10 & 6. Over Blackfriars Bridge. Farringdon then quiet streets and safe crossings to Kings Cross. Return leg will take a more easterly route with a bit of canal path.  Southwark Bridge back to Peckham.  Flat route with lots to see, come and join us. Amanda leading.

 

 Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”.  If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
