HI


I am interested in doing super early bike rides on Sunday. I normally head out at 5AM from East Dulwich and aim to be back by 8am so I can spend time with the kids and wife. Anyone interested? I want to build my speed up - would like to hit 35kph - currently at 28kph over a 3 hour distance

I'll keep an eye on this. I'm a regular commuter to and from work (24 miles per day) however I have just picked up a new road bike so have been going out on the weekends. Looking at joining the Dulwich Paragon when I get a free Saturday however would also be up for rides on the weekends with others.

Need to improve my fitness before committing but I'll give you a shout when I feel ready!

I'd like to start this again. Looking for one or two others to go out on 20,30,40 milers but at a steady enjoyable pace with breaks for snacks or lunch.


Previously it's been an hour and a half one way and back, with rest breaks, so a three hour ride at ten miles per hour is a thirty mile round trip which is a good work out.


I'm very open to suggestions

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
