sociable cycle ride Sat April 14th starts 10am


Recommended Posts

This ride meets outside Canada Water library, SE16 7AR, and starts and finishes in the small square beside the library and opposite the station, now called Deal Porters Square.


It's the usual easy-paced, sociable ride using lots of quiet streets and paths but including a stop at the "Five Ways to Wellbeing" event in Walworth organised by Cool Tan Arts. More info here: http://www.cooltanarts.org.uk/events/five-ways-wellbeing-festival/


The plan is to ride along the Thames via Borough Market to Bernie Spain Gardens on the South Bank. The group will take a short break there to look at the river and then back to Blackfriars Road to the N-S Cycle Superhighway (CS6).


The route follows CS6 to Elephant and Castle, then round the bypass to Elephant Rd, and through to Cool Tan Arts on the Walworth Rd. Brief stop at the Five Ways to Wellbeing Festival in Newington Library where Southwark cyclists will have a stand -- cycling being one of the best ways to keep your body healthy and your mind cheerful.


From the Walworth Rd, the route goes back to Canada Water via Salisbury Row, Quietway 1 and Southwark Park. Route at https://goo.gl/21cxWM. As ever, everyone welcome whatever style of cyclist they are!


These rides are organised and many are lead by Bruce Lynn on behalf of Southwark Cyclists https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk which is the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. The LCC campaigns for safe, enjoyable cycling in London. You don't need to be a member of anything or live anywhere to ride with us. Everything we do is free. If anyone tells you different, they are mistook.

    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
    • I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
    • Not in mine either if I knew they were there 🤣
    • Trees, eh? I feel your pain, EDP, but I like the light provided by the pollarding. I'm interested in the gingko, tho.  I love a tree, me - Hillsboro Rd has lost about five over the last 20 years (2x lime, cherry, strawberry, and, er...). The council did take down about 5 ill original lime trees behind our house but then gave us Golden Rain trees. God, if only we had known what a PITA they are. The main problems are massive invasive surface roots which have buggered up my back fence and paving, plus thousands of vigorously self-seeding offspring every year, which I go around pulling up before they turn into trees. And the leaves are tough things, like horse chestnuts, so don't rot easily. I hate them.  Wish they could have been something native and attractive, like birch or something... council isn't interested in helping.  Ah, well.
