i was hoping to get out to some off-road stuff (but nothing too severe). if you've got chunky tyres a hybrid should be OK.


How about this for a plan:


meet in east dulwich early (about 9.00) and ride to clapham junction, then get the train to box hill (about 45 minutes)

there are a few routes around there with big hills, so I reckon on doing less than 10 miles.


Unless anyone has any other suggestions?

Yeah, let's pub lunch it! Have you guys met before?

I have to be a bit careful btw this weekend, as last weekend a small child ran out in front of my bike along the Thames path and I fell off -- didn't break either the child or any of my bones, but bruising on hands/wrists has meant that I don't have usual strength in arms. But have been riding around ED and not too bad :)

Hi Malcom, Sam and Fergus,

Brilliant ride on Sunday, really enjoyed it and meeting you all. Lots of fun.

I know its my job to sort out the route for this Sunday, but I don't think I will be able to do the ride. I can sort out a route for you no problem though. I have sprained my foot dancing to the Specials in Manchester. Its fine, but stiff and can't really walk very fast so reckon I should rest it. I am gutted I was really looking forward to a ride!!

Hi Guys --


Sorry to hear about your foot Mrs -- hope the gig was mostly fun though :)

Yes, I'd be up for a shorter ride again this weekend -- you have my number so please do get in touch if you have anywhere planned. I'm a bit rubbish with routes as I don't know the area that well -- I end up just cycling to Greenwich and shopping for shoes! Fergus is likely up for it too, and another of our friends Patrick said he'd be keen. Just give me a shout on Sat and I'll let the others know :)

Rightie ho get yer bikes out. Is everyone still up for a ride on Sunday?

There are a couple of rides we could do:-


Tower Bridge along the river to Greenwich - easy ride - 15 km


Herne Hill to Greenwich via Ravensbourne - Medium - 17 km


Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park - easy - 10 km

Hey, great day yesterday AF -- had a lovely time cycling to Hyde Park, then to Regent's Park and along the canal to Islington. Anybody want to join us next week?? Something similar? Fiskaroo knows some good back street routes to cut out traffic dodging -- and I really enjoyed seeing parts of London I've never seen before....

    • And everything was settling down and then you play the mischievous card. 
    • I am an experienced, self-employed gardener and I have been maintaining gardens in East Dulwich and the surrounding area for the last few years.  I am now starting to move away from garden maintenance work in order to specialise in garden consultancy and design. The combination of my design background and love of plants makes this a natural progression for me. I can provide my clients with: Bespoke, on-site garden consultations (one-off or seasonal) - Plant advice e.g. pruning/dividing/training demonstrations, advice on growing problems, what plant where, container gardens. Design - Ideas to revamp an outside space, drawings of new layouts, site specific planting plans. For examples of my work please visit Instagram: gardening_services1 Feel free to get in touch if you think I may be able to help you: 07580364256 All the best Clare  
    • How many Premier League football stadiums are there in London?  40,000 people plus coming into residential areas every week. 
    • Thought a bit of balance was useful, for many there are loud disturbances over much of the year. Not sure if several days of noise from  a festival is worse than the asses who regularly use lounge power tools, in particular to cut through steel.  This forum is anything but positive.  I was being a little mischievous.  Yes loud DIY projects and builders working out of hours does get my goat.  But not enough to start a thread of proper rant.
