This meeting is at our new venue at 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (see picture below). It’s much more respectable than it looks.

Meet beside Canada Water Library, opposite the station. Really easy ride - 14km (8.4 miles) with no hills. Plan is to use the Quietway 14 alignment for the outward leg. Some work has recently started on bits towards the west, e.g. on Snowsfields and Union St. But mostly this is still just a paper route, […]

This lovely sight is Burgess Park last summer on the Bike Train route. At 140 acres it's one of London's largest parks, assembled out of the wreckage of war and containing listed buildings, a lime kiln and former almshouses (now a cafe). One of the great things about cycling is that it takes you where […]
