social cycle ride starts 9.30am Sat July 21st


Recommended Posts

This one is called By Air and Under Sea. I'm not sure if the Thames really counts as the sea at Greenwich. but it's a very good title for a very good ride. The Air bit is definitely right -- the ride starts at 9.30am at the Cutty Sark next to the foot tunnel (SE10 9HT) and follows the Thames Path to the O2 and the Emirates Airline.


The Airline is very bike friendly and photogenic. It costs ?3.50 so bring your Oyster or contactless card. The arrival point is a bit arid but the group won't hang around. On disembarking they will head up towards the Olympic Park, crossing a couple of parks and taking the Greenway.


A coffee stop is planned at one of the cafes in the Olympic Park followed by a quick tour of park going past the Velodrome, Copper Box and up round the London Stadium, exiting by the View Tube.


Return route takes them along the River Lee down to Three Mills, over Twelvetrees Crescent Bridge and along the south Lee path to Cody Dock. The group then cuts down to Dock Road and picks up the Thames pathway back to the Greenwich foot tunnel. Flat ride, lots of traffic-free bits, everyone welcome. Ends at 1pm by the foot tunnel.


This series of Saturday rides (some longer than others) is free and open to everyone. They are organised and mostly led by Bruce Lynn on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Contact Bruce on 07729 279 945 for more information.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
