On Saturday 26th we will have our usual long and short rides. Long ride is our celebrated ride of the Marathon Course led by Jamie with expert commentary from Simon K. The shorter ride a new “interesting” ride from Peckham Square led by John S.
Depart Peckham Library 10am
Return Peckham Library 1pm
Length 14 miles
A leisurely 14 mile ride starting from Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre) and proceeding via Burgess Park to London Bridge. From there, we ramble to Westminster Bridge, with several short stops to look at Ten Interesting Things, from historical curiosities to simple oddities, at least some of which I hope will be new to you… and an unhurried pause for our coffee break at Aldwych. From Westminster Bridge we follow the cycleway along the river to Southwark Bridge, from which we return to Peckham Square. Ride leader john S.
26th April, Ride 2. The 2025 Southwark Cyclists London Marathon Ride  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-2025-southwark-cyclists-london-marathon-ride-tickets-1328187908789 >
Here are the commendably full instructions from Ride Leader Jamie.
Mission 
To cycle the iconic 26.6-mile London Marathon Route from start to finish.    
This LCC event IS NOT A RACE but takes place at a constant pace some of which is on main roads. This ride is suitable for competent, fit and experienced riders. 
Coordinating Instructions and Timings 
Riders will meet at 09.30am sharp on Saturday 26th April at the Statue of General James Wolfe next to the Prime Meridian Line Museum at the top of Greenwich Park, SE10 8XJ.  
A short safety briefing will be given at 09.30am.  
The ride will finish near the Admiralty Arch by approx. 2.30pm but please note that timings cannot be guaranteed. Charing Cross Station is nearby for Riders to get home.    
Route 
We are fortunate to have Simon Kenward with us again for this ride. Simon is a veteran of several London Marathons and is still involved with the London Marathon executive organizing group. Simon will be pointing out some of the most challenging sections for the marathon runners.     
 
The anticipated route is, of course, the London Marathon Route. Greenwich Park, Woolwich, Tower Bridge, Isle of Dogs, Victoria Embankment, The Mall/Admiralty Arch. It is a long way – even on a bike. Come suitably prepared.
Rations and Water 
We will stop for a 30-minute coffee break/snack at Dock Head near Tower Bridge. 
ABC checks and Equipment 
Riders are urged to pre-check their bikes e.g. A = Air in tyres, B = Brakes, C= Chain & gears, 
and to ensure there is no play in their steering.  
Riders are further advised to bring: a warm fleece, waterproof top/trousers.   
 Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe.  If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.
This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/

    • The Crofton Park noticeboards I mentioned above are solely for information about the council  and various community groups, plus  various community related things such as the library times and services.  I think they are very bright, interesting and inviting, however I am not going back there solely in order to take a photo 🤣  
    • From experience, it's the norm that the local authority reject appeals regardless of facts. Suggest you appeal and highlight that you followed the requirements by using the app to log the parking session and the failure of the app / network to register this is a technical issue beyond your control for which you can not be held responsible for and accordingly not penalised. Also that the traffic wardens records confirm you were parked for less than the free period so again should not be penalised. Do a search on web for similar appeals The 'fight back forum' website used to be very good for people sharing there appeals experience; and looks like this is no longer running but try https://www.ftla.uk I've appealed loads of Penalty Charge Notices for myself, friends and family and all been successful. In approx half of the appeals the local authority did not even respond and were won by default.  Re 20p fee - check if you you have text message alert 'on' as these are generally charged for and if so turn it off to save text fee. Hope this helps
    • I’ve read the thread, but no one on the thread has authority over the noticeboards. There must be something written somewhere spelling out the purpose of them;  if they’re not serving that purpose maybe the purpose should change.  I’m interested, not because I have a business which I wish to advertise, but because I’ve seen noticeboards elsewhere that have a richer more reflective feel maybe a bit like a physical manifestation of the What’s on on section of this forum but more 
    • There has already been pages of discussion about this. Please read the whole thread if you haven't already. These are community notice boards and not for the use of  local commercial businesses. I need this to be quite clear before I spend  time on it, because if they are to be used for commercial purposes then I am not willing to be involved at all, and shan't be speaking to Monica
