two free sociable cycle rides Sat March 16th


Recommended Posts

On the 16th we have 2 rides planned. Bruce has a new short ride, Amanda leads one of her regular rides to Kings Cross.

Ride 1. Cemeteries and Hills  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cemeteries-and-hills-cycle-ride-tickets-857381891317 >

10 o’clock start from Peckham Rye Park Café. Bruce leading a new adventurous loop through Nunhead Cemetery, up Hilly Fields, then Brockley and Ladywell Cemetery and Camberwelll New Cemetery, up One Tree Hill, through Camberwell Old Cemetery and finally up Dawsons Heights. Only 8 miles, but several uphills where we may need to walk. Allowing 2½ hours, so plenty of time to walk steep bits and still have a short coffee break. Main adventurous bit is One Tree Hill. This is not a huge hill, but very steep. Paths are nice, but all have steps. If paths are slippery may need to park bikes and walk last sections. Worth it to see the “Oak of Honour” and the WWII gun emplacement. Everyone welcome. Come along and enjoy the challenge!  Provisional map at  https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1tLnUmgp67E91V0Or5n19A5kvUswLINw&usp=sharing

 Ride 2. Peckham to Kings Cross  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/peckham-to-kings-cross-cycle-ride-tickets-857372092007 >

9.30am start from Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY). 3 hour ride. To Kings Cross. Granary Square for a coffee break (in market, under cover) and a bit of a look round.  Outward route Cycleways 10 & 6. Over Blackfriars Bridge. Farringdon then quiet streets and safe crossings to Kings Cross. Return leg will take a more easterly route with a bit of canal path.  Southwark Bridge back to Peckham.  Flat route with lots to see, come and join us. Amanda leading.

 

 Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”.  If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. How to cancel link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/help/en-gb/articles/575010/how-to-cancel-your-free-registration/

    • Ah ok, so you’re saying I need to be underneath something like a table when I do the underwriting? That makes sense. Must be why they get paid so much - they’re managing the risks of working in a confined under space. 
    • Our son goes to Dulwich Village Pre School and i can’t recommend more highly. Set surrounded by fields and run by a group of kind, straight forward and competent women. 
    • The TW leak is right outside JAGS at the top of the hill and water was flowing in both directions.  At one point, combined with the thunderstorm on Sunday afternoon, the road under the bridge on Village Way was flooded as it couldn't drain fast enough.  Traffic was turning around rather than risking it. I don't think the lights on the bend are related but could be I guess.
    • I am bowing out of having anything to do with the community notice board issue now. I just went back to the beginning of the thread to read it through again,  because I couldn't remember how the whole discussion started. I then saw that the OP appears to have recently  been right through the thread they started in January and added various emojis to posts, including a quite inappropriate laughing emoji on a post concerning their own editing and/or deletion  of  at least one very nasty post about at least one  other forum member. It seems a bit ironic that that should be on a forum thread they started about an issue supposedly to benefit the community. And  they have also put  "confused" emojis on some of my posts which seem perfectly clear to me. I imagine that  when they read this they will go back and remove the emojis. Hopefully they  now have  enough information from Pugwash about the keys and the location of  unlocked noticeboards to finish their original excellent quest, which apparently started well over a year ago when they began emailing councillors, because I no longer have any inclination to spend more time on it.
