Rides for Aug 9th.  Short ride is Dulwich to Crystal Palace, the ride we cancelled due to bad weather on July 19th. The long ride is Hackney Marshes (again) but using a new route that for the first time includes the new Bus Shuttle for bikes at the Silvertown Tunnel.
10am start at Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park. Plan to finish there at 12.30. Eduardo leading an 11 mile loop via Nunhead, Waterlink Way and Penge to Crystal Palace Park. Coffee stop at the Green and Brown Café then the ascent through the park, via the dinosaurs, to Crystal Palace Parade. Finally the glorious downhill all the way back to Dulwich Park. A ride we regularly do in mid-winter, but it will make an excellent summer ride too. Everyone welcome on an easy ride with lots to see. Route at https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=15cFwfv7hYe-kAWTFuyPrOMIVyPdfIgPm&usp=sharing. GPX route map attached.
9.30 start (not usual 10am) from Cutty Sark, next to the tunnel entrance. Gloria leading a circular route that is unusual in 2 ways. First we will use the Shuttle Bus through the Silvertown Tunnel. This has capacity for 7 folding bikes and 8 non folders. In order to have the possibility to get on one bus will restrict number. We will have 7 tickets for standard bikes and another 7 for folders. Please make sure you register with the appropriate ticket. If there is a lot of interest we will increase numbers and if necessary use 2 buses. Important that if you find the ride full you go on the Wait List so we know the demand. The second unusual feature of this ride is to end NOT at the start. We will stop the ride a little before Greenwich at Canada Water. Anyone needing to get to Greenwich can use well signed Cycleway 4.
Route. Thames path to the O2 for the Shuttle. Cross the river then use a street route via Plaistow to West Ham Park. Next to Stratford and on to the Grenway for a short stretch to join the Lea Navigation path not far from the London Stadium. Follow the path for ¾ mile to Hackney Marshes. Bit of an explore then return to Lea Navigation Path. Back track to White Post Lane and cross Navigation and then take the bridge over the A12 to reach Victoria Park. Exit Victoria Park to Grove Rd, then Mile End, Cycleway 2 (Whitechapel Rd), Cannon Street  Lane, Cable St (Cycleway 3), Tower Bridge and Cycleway 4 to Canada Water. Aim is to be back by 1.30.

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
