sociable cycle ride Sat April 21st 9.30am start


Recommended Posts

This is one of the longer weekly rides -- it starts earlier and finishes later at about 1pm in order to go further in between. This Saturday's ride begins and ends at the Park Life Cafe in Burgess Park which is at the entrance off the Albany Road (SE5 0RJ) It goes to to Bishops Park, in Fulham and back.


Some of the details are still being worked out but it looks as though the outward route from Burgess Park will be via Battersea Park, Albert Bridge and Chelsea Harbour. The all-important coffee/loo stop will be in Bishops Park. Then back via Putney Bridge, Wandsworth Park and Thames Path.


This will be a nice flat route, about 18 miles. Jane is leading. and the route is here: https://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_4698722.html


This series of rides is organised and lot of them are led by Bruce Lynn on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. I'm carefully getting the spelling of "led" right this week. Last week I put "lead" to universal, unkind derision. I am pretending it was the spell-checker.


Southwark cyclists is the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for more safer cycling in London. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and we do loads of other stuff. Contact us on [email protected] if you want or just turn up.

    • 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.
