15 riders for a late October ride with grey skies and a far from perfect weather forecast. But the rain held off and we had a great ride from Peckham to Dulwich and back. Outward by Dawsons Hill. Views of London skyline a bit hazy but still complemented by the fine Autumn colours this year (see photo). Discovered coming off Dawsons hill that one of the bikes had rather poor brakes. Found this before the descent so no injuries! Longish stop at Pavilion Cafe in Dulwich Park saw both front and back brakes rendered effective. Next stop Herne Hill Velodrome. Always makes a huge impression on people who have never been there. Lots of activity . Big groups training on the track and a large platoon of younger cyclists on the mountain bike trail. Back via Greenway and Camberwell Grove. Route at http://goo.gl/mMbQZ7. Next ride not until 2nd Saturday in November (14th) starting Canada Water.

Today's #CriticalMass 30th 🎂 has ~1000+ people on it 🎉
Not possible without Des Kay's high court test case to prove 'normal protest rules' don't apply to regular spontaneous gatherings - shout-out Des & happy birthday Critical Mass! First pic @ChukkerV #LondonLovesCycling
Great to be with so many of campaigners from @southwarkcycle & @lewicyclists & @GreenwichCycle who have supported us throughout the delivery of Cycleway 4 - we were all a bit damp but it was a fantastic celebration ride.
Thanks to everyone (about 50) who turned out, got wet, and rode C4 to celebrate the opening of the final stretch around Surrey Quays. This is a gamechanger! @GreenwichCycle @lewicyclists @willnorman @mcash @lb_southwark @TfL
@MichaelSnasdell @lb_southwark @LewishamCouncil @Royal_Greenwich @TfL @GreenwichCycle @southwarkcycle @lewicyclists Yes the Surrey Quays station junction is critical, on a part of road that was totally impassable for cycling before. Any feedback to southwark@lcc.org.uk and we'll collate.
And do join on Sunday if you can to help cheer the council to keep going!
Great news! Thanks to @lb_southwark @LewishamCouncil @royalgreenwich @TfL Join our Celebration Ride on Sun 10th Mar, leaving Cutty Sark at 12.00
