Recommended Posts

NOTE. Please register for rides on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.
 
On the 27th July we have two rides, very different in character.  One is a new circular version of Jamie’s “Awayday” to Kent. The other is Bruce’s annual “Big Butterfly Count” local short ride
 
July 27th, Ride 1, Circular ride from Faversham via Whitstable and Canterbury     < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/circular-cycle-ride-from-faversham-via-whitstable-and-canterbury-tickets-950066222647   >
30 mile ride starting 10am at Faversham Station and finishing back there at around 4:30pm. This is a much longer ride than our usual pattern and involves some off-road unsurfaced paths. Read the detailed instructions in the attached document. Only attempt this ride if you and your bike are in condition to complete it.  If in doubt, feel free to contact Jamie and discuss it (contact details in attached doc).
Our annual search for butterflies in Southwark and Lambeth to coincide with the national Big Butterfly Count.  10 mile loop starting from Dulwich Park Café (middle of the park) at 10am with Bruce leading. Hope to visit Green Dale Fields, Ruskin Park, Elam St Open space, Myatts Fields, Burgess Park and Peckham Rye Park. Back to Dulwich about 12.30. Hope for sunny weather. Route at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1n05JmqRvzp9AEDV8SokgbXwYxMw5_R9b&usp=sharin  ,
Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”.
This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
