two free sociable cycle rides Sat July 6th


Recommended Posts

NOTE. Please register for rides on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.
On the 6th July we have two rides, both quite short. One is a new ride from Jane, the other a familiar outing to London’s tourist hotspots with Simon K.
 
A new Healthy Ride to be led by our very experienced Ride Leader Jane C. Start: 10h00 at Emma Cons Gardens, The Cut, London SE1 8LN (Opposite The Old Vic, near Waterloo Station). Finish: 13h00 at Emma Cons Gardens. Jane says: ”A 13 mile ride passing some established parks & gardens, street planting and new landscaping from the City to Chelsea, Battersea Power Station & Vauxhall. Should be some lovely stuff to see. We can stop or slow down to take a closer look in places if required but generally we'll keep moving! Usual mix of cycle ways and quieter streets with some short sections on busier roads and crossings at junctions”. The attached image is to give a general Idea of the route – probably be a bit different in practice. Coffee stop at Storey's Gate probably.  
 
Ride 2, Canada Water to Buckingham Palace  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-to-buckingham-palace-cycle-ride-tickets-937802190597 >  10am. Start/finish in Deal Porter Square, next to Canada Water library and over the road from CW Station,  SE16 7AR. You can also join the ride at London Bridge; be at the Southwark Gateway Needle, south east side of bridge, at 10.20. Easy, 10 mile, 2.5 hour, flat ride that starts along Cycleway 4 then goes across London Bridge, along Embankment (Cycleway 3) and passes Houses of Parliament, St James Park and Buckingham Palace.  Return starts across Westminster Bridge then keeps to the south side of the river, along Lower Marsh, then mostly Cycleway14 - Union Street, Leathermarket St, Tanner St, Dockhead, ending with Thames path route/C14 back to CW. Although we are on some busy roads, most have a cycle lane or bus lane. Possible coffee stop at Dockhead. Ride leader Simon K.  Please indicate when registering if you intend to join at London Bridge.
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.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
