sociable cycle ride June 16th 9.30am


Recommended Posts

this is one of Southwark Cyclists Saturday Healthy Rides. You don't need to be healthy to take part (or unhealthy for that matter). The is idea is to enjoy cycling, see a bit of London and be marginally more healthy and a lot more relaxed at the end of it. It's called a Healthy Ride +Plus because it takes longer to go further.


the ride starts at the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, beside Cutty Sark and ends in the same place at 1pm. The ride will be done anti-clockwise along the north bank first via Foot Tunnel, and then a return on south bank. The northern route passes lots of interesting places: Millwall docks, Royal Victoria Dock, London City airport, and the Thames flood barrier.


Then it's back south on the Woolwich Ferry. There will be a stop to admire views from the Tor (see pic for random group of cyclists doing just this). A coffee stop will be fitted in somewhere. The pace will be nice and easy with lots of off road, and no hills, apart from the Tor. Come and enjoy one of our most popular routes.


Maps of the route are attached along with a map of the spiral up the Tor. The ride is organised by Bruce Lynn on behalf of Southwark cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safe, enjoyable cycling. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

    • Skateboarding is so misunderstood...it is more technical than ballet and the use of drink is not very compatible with a  practise that requires rare dedication and degrees of skill and coordination impossible with alcohol and for most people... impossible at any time. The mutual support and encouragement in that culture is something to be valued.   My Godson's friend had just taken his life which really put things into perspective for me. being trapped alone in a bedroom instead is not great for mental health...   think of the access previous generations had to no mans land.     London has always been a place where wealthy corporate areas remain next to areas of interesting creativity.  The skateboarders beneath south bank centre have a constant audience of tourists;  places like that keep London from becoming stagnant and cold.     
    • Another endorsement for Greg. I called him first thing after water started dripping through my kitchen light fitting. He came straightaway, immediately understood the issue and fixed it. Incredibly efficient, neat and tidy, and charged a competitive rate. Will definitely be calling him again and would highly recommend. 
    • Because . ...? What would your unromanticised film version of the skate park be? Are you saying that what it portrays is wrong in some way?
    • If memory serves me right, it wasn't vandals, it was either council or landowners.
