Ride the route of the lost River Effra

This ride starts and finishes at Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ. It's the usual two-hour easy-paced ride open to all and ends at 12 noon back at the cafe.

The route is designed to show that you can have a non-hilly ride from Dulwich! Wikipaedia thinks that the Effra was fed by springs in Dulwich coming together in Brixton and flowing into the Thames. The Effra itself is culverted for most of its course and the contours of the Effra were used in the Victorian era for a combined sewer draining much of the historic area of Peckham and Brixton

Riders will go out via Brockwell Park and Brixton and then back through Kennington Park and Myatts Fields. If there is time we will have a peep at the new US Embassy on Nine Elms Road.

The route is here

This series of Saturday morning rides is organised and run by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign https://lcc.org.uk. Everything we do is free and open to everyone. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

  The younger (and some older) people have taken an unused unloved space and made it their own. Where do we think young people should go? I was involved in a campaign with a group of younger people a few years ago to get a skate park built. I was so shocked by the backlash and nastiness from a vocal 'adult' few. The young people themselves said that they are told they shouldn't spend all their time on screens and yet when they come together and do something that is physical that involves socialising and positive connection they get slated for it. The skating community is so welcoming and supportive. Come on people - see the bigger picture and the positives. They've made a good place to be out of nothing - they are recycling and building and being creative and social and entrepreneurial. I suggest we reflect on what the real issue is here. Have a look at this -

  A beer in the garden would have been nice, I'm sure! Mine was a meal inside. I don't remember much about it except that it was horrible.

  Went to the Harvester a couple of times to have a beer in the garden, it was quite popular and had a 'certain' charm.

  I never went in The Grove when it was a pub, but I had a meal there once when it was a Harvester (I used to occasionally be a Mystery Shopper, and I was persuaded to go and have this meal because it was a bank holiday and they couldn't find anyone else to do it.) It was truly horrible. At least I got paid for eating it, albeit not very much, but I think I would have paid not to have to eat it. If it becomes an "affordable" restaurant again, I hope at least it has decent food. Why do "these youngsters" need "adult help" to be enterprising? They aren't six year olds!
