We expect to post a second ride by Tues 9th. Ride for Sept 13th. The Full Wandle < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-full-wandle-trail-cycle-ride-tickets-1671881375199?aff=oddtdtcreator > This ride is a nice challenge. Rride the entire Wandle Trail on a Saturday morning starting from London Bridge (Southwark Needle, south east side of London Bridge). In fact we are going to cheat a bit by ending the ride at East Croydon Station. So bring your Travel Pass or equivalent to get home by train. This ride is Amanda’s idea and she will be leading. Total ride distance is 19 miles and we are planning to finish by 2pm following a 9am start. This should allow time for looking around at some of the interesting parts of the Trail and having a coffee break. Parts of the trail are not surfaced and can be quite uneven, so difficult on narrow wheels with tyres inflated hard. Route outline. From London Bridge take Cycleway 10 to Waterloo. Over Westminster Bridge and along the cycle lane on the embankment to and over Chelsea Bridge and into Battersea Park. Thames Path to the start of the trail where the River Wandle meets the Thames. Nice stretches include Abbey Water Mill, Morden Hall Park, Carshalton Ponds and Beddington Park.

Mine came from linked story in the the News Shopper, an advertising dependent free sheet, quoting (social media) Next Door, an un-named person who supposedly knew the attacked person and the met who say they were called, don't mention any injuries and say "alleged".

I quote from the News Shopper A post on social media network Nextdoor by someone who says they know the victim expands on their reported injuries. This is not exactly first hand. The mET say A 48-year-old man alleges he was injured

Main sites to be visited: Peckham Rye Park (wildflower meadow), Ruskin Park (Nature Reserve), Myatts Fields (wild area), Burgess Park. Easy ride with plenty of time allowed for hunting for butterflies. Route at http://goo.gl/v14knG . Deliberately making this s short ride with no coffee break.

I didn't try to get out of the new contract. There is the statutory cooling off period (as you say) and I was very fed up with being messed about. I just switched.
