social cycle ride

Hi

Myself and a friend are thinking of arranging a bike ride one day over the Easter weekend (Fri-Sun). We are looking for a route in the countryside, starting the ride short train journey away. The plan would be to have a pub lunch and maybe a tea stop on route. Thinking of about 30 miles at a fairly leisurely pace. If it goes well we might make it a regular thing. Let me know if you are interested. Any suggestions for a route welcome (I have a terrible sense of direction) (my wingman is looking for a route).

Helena,


A splended idea! I have taken rides from Goose Green for many years everyother Sunday.


I had 3 variations:


1. A ride into the country such as Down House, tea & cake then a ride back.

2. Ride to a further destination such as Brighton, a pint + food and take a train back, and finally...

3. Enjoy the London Parks - Hyde Park, Regents Park or even Southwark Park. Tea & cake, with lots of blue plaques to view enroute such as the:


a) Mayflower launch (1620) by Rotherhide tunnel

b) Just around the corner, a blue plaque for Micheal Caine

c) Brunell Museum


On yer bike! And have a great time :-)

    • Well good for you, I don't feel safe. And saying why don't I go and live somewhere else is crass.  Yes London is lawless, open your eys and see the reality. 
    • Also, as discussed on another thread, that particular  assailant was possibly (we don't know)  mentally ill. Whereas I'm guessing most crimes locally are   committed for money, (ie things that can be sold), food (if someone is really desperate, or to sell) or just pure mischief (like the recent goings on on Peckham Rye). I'm a 76 year old woman, and I feel safe on the streets, and I frequently go to Central London. If you seriously don't feel safe living here, why on earth don't you go and live somewhere else?! It's absolute nonsense to say London is lawless, and it's absolute nonsense to say the police stand by and do nothing. There will always be crime. It used to be cutpurses and highwaymen. And organised gangs of thieves. And people like Jack the Ripper.
    • No it is not, it is a fact whether you like it or not. Do you feel safe on the streets, because I don't, do you go too central London, I don't as I don't feel safe. No one knows if someone is i) carrying a weapon or a knife and ii) you don't know what will trigger them to use it. So feel free to live in your bubble, but the reality is London is lawless and the police stand by and do nothing. 
    • Leon responded quickly to my online enquiry and to follow-up texts when arranging a date for the work. He replaced a faulty switch for my outdoor sensor light. I expected it would be difficult to find an electrician willing to take on such a small job. So I was really pleased to find Leon and would definitely recommend him.
