free sociable cycle ride Sat Oct 5th

Recommended Posts

On the 5th Oct we have 2 rides, Eva leading round the 2024 City Sculptures and Bruce with a longish new train assisted route.
 
This ride aims to visit all 17 sculptures exhibited as part of the 13th Sculpture in the City event. Some sculptures on show will be familiar to riders who participated in the similar ride led by Eva in 2022 (https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2022/healthy-ride-reports-august-6th-2022/), but there are some new ones as well. Detailed descriptions of the artworks are published here:  https://www.sculptureinthecity.org.uk/artwork/13th-edition/. This flat 7 mile ride will start and end in Deal Porter Square, next to Canada Water Library and opposite Canada Water Station. Start time 10am and expected to last 2.5 hours.  Proposed route:
 
Bromley and Orpington < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/southwark-healthy-ride-to-bromley-and-orpington-tickets-1030924622297 >  An excursion not the outer suburbs with a return by train. Famous Bromley resident H.G. Wells once described it as a “morbid spread of population”. But are the outer suburbs that depressing? Time for us to venture forth and check things out for ourselves!
London Bridge (Southwark Gateway Needle) EARLY start (9am) for a 16 mile ride ending at Orpington Staton at around midday. Train back from there (5 per hour, 20-34min journey time). Bring travel card or equivalent,  Provisional route at https://www.komoot.com/tour/1883003409.
 
 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 (note there is a lot of shared path on these ride). If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/

    • 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.
