NB Please register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below 

For 16th Sept we have 2 rides, both quite long and both starting at London Bridge at the early time of 9.30.  If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling (How to cancel).

Rides for Sept 16th 

Ride 1. Tottenham Marshes. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-tottenham-marshes-cycle-ride-tickets-715740197197  >   

New route devised by John and Jean. John will be leading.  9.30 start from The Southwark Needle, SE side of London Bridge.  A round trip of 25miles so we do not expect to be back until 2 – 2.30pm.  Route out to the Marshes will cross the City and pick up Cycleway 1 which is very well signposted along the route. Mostly quiet backstreets and a few cycle paths and passing by the impressive Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Tottenham Marshes form part of the Lee Valley Regional Park and there is a nice pathway through the Marshes which runs in between the Lea River and the Lee Navigation. Return route will follow the Lea Navigation towpath all the way down to the Limehouse cut which will take us to Limehouse basin where we will pick up CS3 to London Bridge.  There will be a coffee stop probably early on the return leg.  This is quite a long ride for us although we are allowing plenty of time so we will be at our usual easy pace. Good idea to bring drinks and snacks. 

Ride 2.  Kensington Palace. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-kensington-palace-ride-tickets-715737138047  >   

Start 9.30 am at London Bridge (The Southwark Needle, south side). Est finish 1:00pm. Amanda leading. Out along the south side of the river and over Westminster Bridge, then Horseguards and the Mall and through Hyde Park to Kensington Palace. Return down Queensgate to Battersea Park and the Power Station. Final stretch back along the river and C14. Coffee break location depends on how busy places are, possibly Kensington Palace, but more likely Battersea Park or Vauxhall.  Usual easy pace and keeping to the quieter streets. Lots and lots to see. About 15 miles and flat, so we are giving ourselves plenty of time for a nice easy-paced ride.

    • Police won’t be interested as they are to busy investigating hurtful comments people have written on internet and demos which seem to be happening every weekend,well done for reporting tho and giving us the heads up to be careful 👍
    • I had my car ransacked on Wednesday night, I assumed I’d left it unlocked. It was unlocked again this morning though and I definitely locked it last night.   The car was outside my front door and the keys near the door inside so I assume this is a relay theft  issue with someone using a remote key reader. I would advise keeping keys away from the front door. I have reported to police. 
    • They plan to close the Mount Pleasant Office, absolute and utter madnesss
    • We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support.  The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office.  But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from.  To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you.  Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out.  How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".
