two shortish flat cycle rides Sat June 22nd


Recommended Posts

NOTE. Please register for rides on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.
 
On the 22nd June we have two relatively short rides, one from Peckham to the South Bank and the other from Canada Water to the Thames Barrier.  Very much a River Thames theme this week.
 Short (9 mile) flat ride exploring the South Bank from the London Eye to the Globe Theatre. Lots to see en route. Will use lots of cycleway and no tricky uncontrolled crossings. So suitable for anyone who has cycled a bit and great for learning some good routes.
Start finish at Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre) at 10am for a 9 mile circuit. Bruce leading and aiming to finish by 12.30.  Canal path to Cycleway 10. Follow this to the Old Vic, then Lower Marsh to the astonishing Graffiti Tunnel and through to the Eye. Take a break somewhere as we work along the river, probably at National Theatre. Return from Globe via back streets to C6 on Blackfriars Rd. Take this to Elephant and Castle then SE bypass route to Elephant Park. Hook up to C17 to Burgess Park then final 2km completely off road across park and up the Canal Path back to the start point in Peckham Square. Forecast is great. Everyone welcome. So come and join us. Route map at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1rNkCYzSXBd-wgsFZmRVNJieLxsTzDBw&usp=sharing
Very easy flat ride, lots of off road or on segregated cycleway, always plenty to see along the Thames. 10am start from Deal Perter Square. Next to Canada Water Library, opposite Canada Water Station. Eduardo leading on a 12 mile route via Cutty Sark and the O2. Plan to be back around 12.30 and have a short refreshment break at the Barrier.  Note it is also possible to join this ride at Cutty Sark, next to the Foot Tunnel at 10.25. Please indicate on the Registration form if you intend to do this
 
Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • 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.
