Greenwich to Danson Park.


10am to 1.30pm. Start finish at Cutty Sark, near the tunnel entrance. Eva leading. This is quite a long (18 miles) ride for us with significant short hills (550 feet total climbing). Starts though Greenwich Park then across to cycle paths and quiet streets that parallel the A2, passing on the way the Well Hall Pleasaunce. Leaves the A2 route at Wendover Way and reaches Danson Park from Danson Lane. Coffee break at the really lovely Fleur de Th? in Danson House. Return uses mostly LCN routes to Woolwich Arsenal via Plumstead Common. There joins the Thames path and follows this back to Cutty Sark.

This is Bike Week. Try a Healthy Ride tomorrow - Saturday 11th June.

We have 2 rides. One is fully subscribed already, but there is lots of space on the Round the Parks romp from Peckham through, amongst others, Burgess, Ruskin and Dulwich Parks. Register at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/southwark-round-the-parks-cycle-ride-tickets-354671109837. Or just turn up at the last minute. Ideal for anyone you want to persuade out on their bike. Just 2 hours, no big hills, lots of lovely paths in the parks.

And a nice forecast, warm, dry, plenty sunshine.

Cheers,

Bruce

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi , he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in East Dulwich . how much do you charge ?   Thanks 🙏🏼 
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
