Recommended Posts

 
For Weekend 1-2 June we will have 2 rides. On June 1st a regular Healthy Ride to Abbey Wood/Lesnes Abbey. On Sunday June 2nd there will be a special short ride aimed at people who have enjoyed the Freecycle Event this Sunday (26th). This will start at the same time and location as the Freecycle feeder ride, 10am, Peckham Rye Park. Details below.
Please register on Eventbrite so we can control the numbers. Links for June 1st and 2nd below.
9.30 am to 1.00 pm. Start/finish Cutty Sark, next to the tunnel entrance. Note the slightly earlier 9.30 start. Amanda leading. 20 mile route that largely follows the river, keeping to the south side. Outward takes the Thames path round the Greenwich peninsula and continues to Woolwich and Thamesmead. After an ascent of the famous Thamesmead Tor, heads inland to Lesnes Abbey and a well-deserved coffee break with time for a quick look at the ruins of the Abbey. On the return use more of the linear, elevated, Ridgeway path to Woolwich, then Thames path again until the Ecology Park at N Greenwich. Cut across the peninsula to save your legs and finish along a short stretch of Thames path to Cutty Sark. High proportion of this route is on off-road paths. Loads to see, including riding past the O2, Thames Barrier and the steel men (“Assembly” by Peter Burke) at Woolwich Arsenal. Everyone welcome, but please note that although riders of all ages take part in Healthy Rides those under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”.  Note we are requiring a mobile number on registration for this ride.
Meet Peckham Rye Park Café (“The Round”) at 10am. Special Sunday ride to follow on from Freecycle. Suitable for family groups and all sorts of cyclist. 9 mile circuit.  Return to start approx. 12 noon.  About 1½ hours easy-paced cycling and 30 min of breaks.  As well as Peckham Rye Park, will visit Burgess Park, Myatts Fields, Elam St Open Space, Ruskin Park and Dulwich Park. 55% off road path, 40 % quiet streets, 6% busy road.  At a few tricky junctions will dismount and use crossings. Everyone welcome, but please note that although riders of all ages take part in Healthy Rides those under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”.  To enquire about the suitability of this ride, please email  [email protected].

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
