social cycle ride

Recommended Posts

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 :-)

    • Massive thank you to Stephen. Painted our whole house - and got lots of other bits sorted, too. Nothing was too much trouble, everything looks great and all came in on quote. Fantastic. Liverpool fan, but don’t hold that against him. Will 100% use again.   
    • We worked with Eliot recently to get two sets of shelves built. He was excellent! Really high quality craftsmanship, communicative and lovely - I’d recommend Langley Carpentry in a heartbeat. 
    • How about trying the upstairs of some local pubs like EDT? They prob won't stay open until wee small hours but worth a try... or night at Rivoli Ballroom Catford (too old?!) or somewhere up in town for drinks rather than hiring somewhere.
    • Sadly crime does seem to be going up in terms of opportunists and street crime / bike thefts etc. Lack of CCTV in this area means it's more of a target than some neighbouring areas according to police (when they sent victim support round after our car had its catalytic converter stolen twice in 6 months by organised gang complete with balaclavas, iron bars and a chainsaw.. driving a 4x4). Crime still relatively low by some parts of London standards but a worrying trend if burglars are trying their luck when people are actually home. Wonder what local police/ MP thoughts are in terms of whether they could organise more community policing patrols. I read a woman was punched in the face on/near Lordship Lane in an unprovoked attack a week or two ago. Terrifying.
