Not exactly attractive weather to be publicising bike rides but, hey, right now Saturday's the only day in the next week without a blob of rain scheduled on it.


So here goes: the next ride is the Peckham to Blackheath Loop leaving Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR) at 10am and returning at 12 noon


The route has been tweaked a bit to include Telegraph Hill. That's a hill of course but it has a great view over London. After that the group will come down to Brookmill Park and follow a not too steep river route up to Blackheath and Greenwich Park. At Lewisham there will be a small diversion to look at the new landscaping at the confluence of the Ravensbourne and the Quaggy.


There's another short stop planned at the entrance to Greenwich Park where there are loos and then a return down through the park and along Quietway 1 (now renamed Cycleway 1) which is a favourite route and by far the best Quietway so far. The round trip is 10.5 miles, all quiet streets or paths. There are steep bits but plenty of time is allowed for walking the short steep bits. A route map is here:



These rides are organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign.

You can contact us on southwark@lcc.org.uk; tweet us @southwarkcycle or text 07842 640 -- you only get me but I try to be helpful

    • It’s good to see local councillors are taking this crash seriously, hopefully the police will also. The tyres marks left on the road suggest speed could have been a factor. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FaPQjGu7x/?mibextid=wwXIfr
    • Why is it a terrible place for teenagers?
    • Well, if you ever find yourself visiting, let us know 
    • Before I switched, if memory serves there was some sort of thing on Thames Water's website which you could use to determine whether or not you would be better off with a meter. No idea if it's still there. Also, I have a vague recollection that if you found you were worse off financially with the meter after a certain time period, you could switch back. Have I imagined that? Whatever, I don't actually recall hearing of anyone who thought they were worse off with a meter, though I'm sure there must be some.
