We have 2 rides on 5th July, a fairly short local ride to Wimbledon Park and the already posted ride in Epping Forest that was cancelled in June due to poor weather. Will detail the Wimbledon ride first, then give a reminder about the Epping ride second. Dulwich to Wimbledon Park < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dulwich-to-wimbledon-park-southwark-healthy-cycle-ride-tickets-1444478627459?aff=oddtdtcreator > Eduardo leading a ride through 5 of our South London parks and commons. 15 miles. 10am –1pm. Start/finish Dulwich Clock Café, Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ. Route: Dulwich Park via Brockwell Park, Clapham Common, Wandsworth Common to Wimbledon Park. Return same route. Mostly quiet streets, occasional busy junction, lots of easily cycled paths in the parks and on the commons. Coffee stop in Wimbledon Park. We have done this interesting ride several times, most recently in September last year, report here. Reminder of second ride on July 5th. Just a few places left. Epping Forest Ramble < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/epping-forest-ramble-southwark-healthy-ride-tickets-1391596836599?aff=oddtdtcreator > Owen seems determined to get us all out into the Essex countryside. Following his successful Essex Ramble last month (https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2025/ride-reports-3rd-may-2025/) he has devised another. We are heading to Epping Forest this time. A 27km (16 miles) circuit from Chingford to Epping and back. Farthest point on the ride will be at Epping Signalling Museum. Coffee stop will be at High Beech. Other places of interest we will stop at will be Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge and Connaught Water. The ride will start at 9.30am at Chingford Station (E4 6AL) and will finish at approximately 1.30pm back at Chingford Station. We are mostly off road - 70% on gravel, 5% on grass. Just 25% on tarmac (paths and road). We think a Brompton would be OK. However NOT a road bike with slim wheels, need hybrid size tyres with plenty grip. Sections of the route are “undulating” and overall it will be a challenging ride, A reasonable level of fitness will be needed. GPX file of route at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/route-for-epping-forest-ramble/ Getting to Chingford from Central London. Obvious option is Overground (Weaver Line) from Liverpool St. 27 min ride, trains every 15 min, fare £3.60.

We will have 2 coffee stops, and will stop at the other bakeries to allow riders to buy goods to take home.

A short ride from Dulwich including 2 places that really surprised me when first seen and a long ride heading north up the River Lea. June 14. Ride 1. Two Surprises in Brixton. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/two-surprises-in-brixton-southwark-healthy-ride-tickets-1401961718239?aff=oddtdtcreator > When exploring on Healthy rides you occasionally come across something very surprising. Two of the most amazing were Brixton Mill and Ebony Horse Club. In the middle of houses and next to a prison, a fully functioning windmill. In a small park near Loughborough Junction, a riding stables with people circulating on horses. These 2 locations have been incorporated into this gentle 9½ mile circuit along with several parks and a common. Start will be Dulwich Park Café (Clock Café, middle of the park) at 10am. Back at 12.30pm. Route up Greendale, Ruskin Park, Wyck Gardens (Ebony Horse Club), Clapham Common, Blenheim Gardens Estate (Brixton Windmill), Brockwell Park, Belair Park and back to Dulwich Park.

Owen and I have decided to postpone the Epping Forest Ramble until July 5th. Due to bad forecast for Saturday and only 3 registrants. Hope we get better weather on 5th July. For tomorrow there is space on the Power Stations ride starting 10am from Burgess Park. This is shorter and on tarmac all the way so will be OK if the forecast is correct. Dress appropriately!

It's wood so you can compost it. Probably best to use it like grass cuttings sprinkled into other stuff to let in air and water.

An Inner London circuit of ex-Power Stations and an Outer London, train assisted, ride in Epping Forest. Ride 1. A Trio of (ex)-Power Stations. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-trio-of-ex-power-stations-bike-ride-tickets-1391591951989?aff=oddtdtcreator > Bruce leading a circuit to Tate Modern, Lots Road and Battersea Power. The large power station buildings have been preserved for these three. The uses of the sites are now very different – an art gallery, largely residential and a mixed residential and retail/leisure development. Chance to compare the different fates of these landmark sites and consider if they are now contributing as much as when they kept the lights on and the tube system running. Ride starts 10am from Burgess Park (Stomping Grounds Café, Chumleigh Gdns). Back streets/Cyclway to Tate Modern followed by a long ride to Lots Road via the Imperial War Museum, Vauxhall Bridge and the embankment. From Lots Rd, across Albert Bridge and through Battersea Park (probable refreshment break) to Battersea Power Station. Then back to Burgess Park via Thessaly Rd, Larkfield Park and quiet streets across Stockwell. 21km, 13 miles, flat. Should be back around 1pm allowing for look around time at each power station.

The uses of the sites are now very different – an art gallery, largely residential and a mixed residential and retail/leisure development. Chance to compare the different fates of these landmark sites and consider if they are now contributing as much as when they kept the lights on and the tube system running. Ride starts 10am from Burgess Park (Stomping Grounds Café, Chumleigh Gdns). Back streets/Cyclway to Tate Modern followed by a long ride to Lots Road via the Imperial War Museum, Vauxhall Bridge and the embankment. From Lots Rd, across Albert Bridge and through Battersea Park (probable refreshment break) to Battersea Power Station. Then back to Burgess Park via Thessaly Rd, Larkfield Park and quiet streets across Stockwell. 21km, 13 miles, flat. Should be back around 1pm allowing for look around time at each power station.

Epping Forest Ramble < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/epping-forest-ramble-southwark-healthy-ride-tickets-1391596836599?aff=oddtdtcreator > Owen seems determined to get us all out into the Essex countryside. Following his successful Essex Ramble last month (https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2025/ride-reports-3rd-may-2025/) he has devised another. We are heading to Epping Forest this time. A 27km (16 miles) circuit from Chingford to Epping and back. Farthest point on the ride will be at Epping Signalling Museum. Coffee stop will be at High Beech. Other places of interest we will stop at will be Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge and Connaught Water. The ride will start at 9.30am at Chingford Station and will finish at approximately 1.30pm back at Chingford Station. We are mostly off road - 70% on gravel, 5% on grass. Just 25% on tarmac (paths and road). We think a Brompton would be OK. However NOT a road bike with slim wheels, need hybrid size tyres with plenty grip. Sections of the route are “undulating” and overall it will be a challenging ride, A reasonable level of fitness will be needed. GPX file of route at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/route-for-epping-forest-ramble/ Getting to Chingford from Central London. Obvious option is Overground (Weaver Line) from Liverpool St. 27 min ride, trains every 15 min, fare £3.60. Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”.

Could you give the news source so that I can see whether it is reliable (like BBC) or nuts ( like Reform conspiracy insights)?

Hi I have got lead covering the skylights on my flat roof. Unfortunately the sheet of lead has slid down and exposed some of the wood support underneath. It needs pushing back up (i'm not strong enough to do this) and securing in place If this seems like a job for you, please message me through the forum. I'm in Nunhead.

Makes me wish I had gone.

Councils are not private companies though they can set them up. Do you have any evidence that Southwark has done this?

I caught the 363 to CP and back on Saturday. I was worried that it would take ages but no, everything was fine. TfL don't seem to be organising diversions so maybe that's why

you could investigate selling it. No Ulez outside London. Buses and trains? If you are that old you must have a Freedom Pass

NOTE. Please register for rides on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below. On Saturday May 17th we will have 2 rides, a new ride exploring the history of the Surrey Canal and a second to one of our regular destinations, Victoria Park in Hackney. May 17th, Ride 1. Grand Surrey Canal < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/grand-surrey-canal-cycle-ride-tickets-1359498319069 > Meet at 10.00h in Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre). The ride will trace the route of the Grand Surrey Canal from Peckham to the canal entrance on the Thames at Salt Quay. On familiar paths we will seek out features of the canal along the way and the docks at Surrey Quays, and dig into their history. Coffee will be in Folkestone Garden and the ride will end at Southwark Park at approximately 2pm. There will be an additional short led ride back to Peckham Square for any riders wishing to get back to the start. May 17th, Ride 2. Victoria Park and Mile End Park < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-victoria-park-cycle-ride-tickets-1359501478519 > Victoria Park is the oldest public park in London (opened 1845) and has a lake with fountain, a pagoda and a bandstand where bands still play every Sunday. And it has some lovely wide paths, perfect for shared riding and walking. We will set out at 9.30 across Tower Bridge and follow mostly quiet streets and paths via Limehouse and Mile End to ‘Vicky’ Park. Then east to the nearby Olympic Park and probable coffee stop at the View Tube. Back via Three Mills, Westferry and Cycleway 3 to London Bridge by about 1pm. Ride Leader Amanda.
