NOTE. Please register for rides on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.  Do not turn up for rides if you have not been able to register.
 
On the 14th Sept we have two rides, Jean is doing a ride to Wimbledon Park and Simon S. is leading an Awayday to Sheppey.
 
Dreamt up by Simon S.  Lots of information at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BsipZWtqejRKe8puw9yjSrN_loo0rukpeOabj6GYtxE/edit?usp=sharing. Be sure to read this before registering.  Summarising: “A fascinating day ride to explore the Isle of Sheppey on the north coast of Kent. We’ll find out about the origins of aviation, visit three prisons, enjoy some lovely riding along the sea shore, explore old Sheerness and Queensborough. Great views if the weather is kind. We’ll stop for refreshments a couple of times.  Start at Sittingbourne station and end at Queensborough. Ride is about 25-30 miles (depends a bit on the weather). The route is fairly flat, but there are a couple of hills, but nothing very high or steep.”
Travel needs careful planning. Simon recommends the 8.49 from Victoria, arriving Sittingbourne 10.15. This train stops at Bromley South at 9.27. Bromley South is also on Thameslink so is served by trains from Elephant and Castle and Herne Hill. There are also trains from St Pancras including a 9.20 train (also stopping at Stratford International at 9.27) and arriving Sittingbourne at 10.18.  Meet in front of station, St Michael's Rd, Sittingbourne ME10 3ED, 51°20'30.6"N 0°44'06.3"E, What3words ///rarely.amount.pile
 
Jean and John leading a ride through 5 of our South London parks and commons. 15 miles. 10am –1pm. Start/finish Dulwich Clock Café, Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ. Route: Dulwich Park via Brockwell Park, Clapham Common, Wandsworth Common to Wimbledon Park. Return same route. Mostly quiet streets, occasional busy junction, lots of easily cycled paths in the parks and on the commons. Coffee stop in Wimbledon Park. Route map attached.  Last ridden June 2022, report here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2022/healthy-rides-june-25th-2022/
Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe.  If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.

    • 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.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
