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.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
