damzel Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I can't make next Sunday but am looking forward to this starting up again. Shame about the weather forecast for today! Annoying when they get it wrong. Btw I thought flashing lights were actually illegal in the UK?

Proj London Health Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 OK, lets do 2-weeks time :-)On the flashing light side, its my understanding that provided you have a reflector both front and back, then its legal. Some others say you have to have a steady light with a flashing light; I follow the former but would change to the latter if illegal.McC Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20129-totally-free-e-dul-cycle-rides-sundays-9-30am-london-pks-blue-plaques-short-rides-dates-tbc/page/7/#findComment-679259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW1 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I would have absolutely have loved to come but I broke my foot earlier this week so won't be going anywhere for around 6 weeks. Hopefully I'll get to finally join you in November. Enjoy Sunday.

Proj London Health Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Firstly, CW1 - OMG! You poor thing, I hope you recover soon. As part of rehab once on the mend, purchace a large swimming float and find a local pool with a thermal pool (warmer water like the one in Crystal Palace Ctr). This will promote gentle progression. You may wish to start rehab earlier with a body float suit, this allows you to jog in the water upright - this is even less demanding .ladies... Charlie and Becks, good luck with your 1/2 marathon tomorrow - you will love it!Vito & DamzelI will hold back from the ride tomorrow until we can get a lot of hands up in the air. Its one of those things but never mind. Again, this is advance notice to allow you guys to replace for tomorrow ..Best!McCabe Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20129-totally-free-e-dul-cycle-rides-sundays-9-30am-london-pks-blue-plaques-short-rides-dates-tbc/page/7/#findComment-682948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proj London Health Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 What an array of Sundays hey - wind, rain, unsettled!?I'm thinking that this group may be assigned to a Spring to mid Summer project. I'm now in the process of converting these great projects including fitness to a charity or social enterprise. If you know anything about these area's - please please PM me - I want to make the right decision. Avoid RED tape etc....I'm committed to keeping activities for FREE, FUN and FITNESS related - specifically Public Health and Community focused.McCabe Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20129-totally-free-e-dul-cycle-rides-sundays-9-30am-london-pks-blue-plaques-short-rides-dates-tbc/page/7/#findComment-693843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proj London Health Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi Pipsky, Southside and thisislawtts,Feel free to use this thread, it has some 6,000 hits and has achieved 101 rides in both London and further a field.I am currently really busy undertaking Personal Training in the Dulwich and ED area so unable to lead these rides at the moment.** Parks & Plaques **These are really easy going rides into London parks, and enroute there and back to visit some 'Blue Plaques': Michael Caine, his blue plaque is by Southwark Park - 'Not alot of people know that!' The 'Mayflower' departed to America a few hundred meters away from Michael Caine's plaque, again 'Not alot of people know that'.** Rides into Kent & Surrey **I could name a zillion and one rides - they all contain hills but..... think of the tea and cake at Box Hill, or at Down visiting Charles Darwins house, or.... visiting the oldest cycle race location in the world just beyond Toys Hill in Kent. Then, there is another hill that is a combination of long and really really steep that you need on your 'bucket list' to say you have done it.Requirements for this group are:* No jumping red lights,* Hi Viz jacket,* Water bottle / snack,* Puncture outfit & basic tools.Oh yes, and a meet every couple of months to plan the routes and Blue Plaques over a large glass of wine.Best!McCabe Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20129-totally-free-e-dul-cycle-rides-sundays-9-30am-london-pks-blue-plaques-short-rides-dates-tbc/page/7/#findComment-750554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
damzel Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm keen for both types of rides so hoping someone is keen to lead them. Will be watching this thread with interest.McCabe - I've been riding to work for over a year now, thanks to you showing me the way! I never would have done it otherwise so thanks once again for making it possible!

Proj London Health Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yep, just need a few more to sign up and off it goes again :-) Damzel, I am so pleased to hear you are cycling to work - the 'Old Surrey Canal' is a brilliant route!For those that wish to join, its totally FREE and there is cake and coffee at the park destination (that bit you have to pay for).** Blue Plaques **Where is the Charlie Chaplins BP? If you are heading from the Elephant & Castle along the Wolworth Rd (towards Camberwell), keep your eyes to the LHS by a busy market street.This is everyones job to work out the parks and the plaques.... its easy going, historic and usually gets you back indoors by lunchtime - and you don't need a shower.McCabe Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20129-totally-free-e-dul-cycle-rides-sundays-9-30am-london-pks-blue-plaques-short-rides-dates-tbc/page/7/#findComment-751980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proj London Health Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 If we can get few more, I will set the destination, date, and the Blue Plaques to look out for :-) We could do the 'Jack the Ripper' ride using a really cool route via the 'Old Surrey Canal' with hardly any traffic around.I'm also looking at setting up some local challenges for hill sprints - its on college Road just past Dulwich College, starting by the toll gate. This will puff all out, its fun, and really local too. Plant the seed in everyones mind - your legs, gluts, core and upper extremities will have 5-mins of fun.Best!McCabe Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20129-totally-free-e-dul-cycle-rides-sundays-9-30am-london-pks-blue-plaques-short-rides-dates-tbc/page/7/#findComment-754797 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proj London Health Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 G'day guys,This group can restart any time, its easy riding, no further than London parks and some blue plaques enroute to incorporate history and knowledge too. One of the rides includes the haunts of 'Jack the Ripper', finishing with tea at Spittlefields.I'm on hols for 6-weeks albeit I can set a date for this coming or the following Sunday to a close and easy ride to Burgess Park via the old Surrey Canal which is car free.

Proj London Health Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think perhaps September would be a good time to restart after the summer hols.When you head for lunch in the afternoon or at work on Monday, you can talk about the ride, the park, the stories and the famous blue plaques you have cycled by too. And, all for FREE!This group, as with the Saturday fitness group (on the RYE) is a totally voluntary run project with zero funding and has been since 2007 when this great idea came to me as a fun concept. These are easy going slow rides with you back home by midday on average.All you need is:* high viz top + helment* basic tools in case of a puncture etc* change for a tea / coffee & snack at the park caf?* motivation and a bag of fun too!Best!McCabe Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20129-totally-free-e-dul-cycle-rides-sundays-9-30am-london-pks-blue-plaques-short-rides-dates-tbc/page/7/#findComment-885427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
