Southwark Cyclists are running two social cycle rides this weekend. Free to all. Everyone welcome.


The first on Saturday morning 9.30-1pm is a loop ride to Beckenham Place Park, starting and finishing at Dulwich Park Cafe. The pace will be easy and suitable for everyone except maybe the very small. The aim is to explore back streets and byways, and get to know cycle routes around the area while taking in interesting sights and places.


The route out goes via Horniman Museum, Forest Hill, and Mayow Park. Then following National route 21 from Bell Green to Cator Park, Beckenham Place Park driveway to Route at Mansion, then ride Ravensbourne Green Way on the east edge of the park.


Return via NR21 to Catford Bridge, then via LCN22 to Camberwell New Cemetery, Camberwell Old Cemetery and Dawsons Hill. Total distance 14 miles. A map of the route is here: https://goo.gl/ThQ4IR. Everyone is welcome


On Sunday, we are running a Bike Train Weekender up to town on the Bike Train route and then going on to take in the central London sights. The segregation takes you to the heart of Westminster, and from there St James Park, Buck House, and Hyde Park are easy safe hops. In fact most of the Freecycle route which used to be cycling friendly once a year is now safe every day.


The pace again will be easy and safe for all except maybe the very small. The segregation makes the whole route safe for children although the under 8s would probably get tired after a while. The ride meets at the bike stands behind McDonalds by Peckham Rye Station at 10am and will be back by 12. Anyone can drop in and drop out at any point so if you just want to ride up to town and then hang around and do stuff that's fine.


The Bike Train map is here:



Let us know if you are coming on either/both. You can message me, text me on 07842 640 207 or text Bruce on 07729 279 945.

This group also do a bike train on every Wednesday, starting from Peckham Rye at 08:10 and Denmark Hill from the same time. The main train goes to Blackfriars Bridge but connections can be arranged to Tower Hill, Kings Cross, Green Park etc etc. If you are truly fed up with the state of the morning trains, this makes a happy and enjoyable alternative. For more information reply to this message.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      in reply to my own "Where did you get this from?" response to your post at https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/353788-is-rachel-reeves-becoming-the-new-liz-truss/?do=findComment&comment=1688310, in which you again spoke of the government's "doubling the national debt". You seem not to understand the meaning of "national debt".  Have you perhaps been relying on someone else's usage? I'm sorry to hear of Starmer's decimation.

      in response to   On 19/11/2024 at 08:36, Moovart said: I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.   I've just had a look at the page source.  It contains a link to a Twitter page that's been automatically embedded in Moovart's post but seems not now operative. So I've dug out the url to have another try, this time without embedding:  https://x.com/guyshrubsole/status/1858490339356533018 .  Seems ok.   in reply to my own "Where did you get this from?" response to your post at https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/353788-is-rachel-reeves-becoming-the-new-liz-truss/?do=findComment&comment=1688310, in which you again spoke of the government's "doubling the national debt". You seem not to understand the meaning of "national debt".  Might you have been copying someone else's usage? I'm sorry to hear of Starmer's decimation. ================ And the para below was originally a totally new separate post but has also been merged.  Good night forum. The above merging of my posts in response to Sue and to Jazzer have been done by the forum system, so there's no point in my trying again to separate them.  I've already tried editing out the merging and reposting the one to jazzer, but ended up with the same forced merge.  Apologies. Latest edit.  The moral seems to be: don't try making two consecutive posts or they'll be liable to merging.  I've now been able to post a freestanding reply to jazzer's post now that there's an intervening post.
