Our team will be at Herne Hill, near the junction with Holmdene Avenue, speed guns at the ready. Those caught in their sights get fierce letters with fierce threats of personal attention from the Met. The record for the most reckless driver of the year was briefly held by a motor bike caught pulling a […]
Start/finish at Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ Easy-paced ride through 4 cemeteries, 2 parks and 2 “Fields”. Bit of up and down, but nothing heroic. Initially up to Peckham Rye Park, then through Nunhead Cemetery. Over the railway to Brockley and Ladywell Cemetery then up to the top of Hilly Fields and […]
At our not-so-new venue at 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (see picture above). It’s much more respectable than it looks. Coming from Burgess Park, cross Camberwell New Road and proceed in an westerly direction along Urlwin Street, under the railway bridges, left at the end and straight on into the cul-de-sac in front of you. Very […]
September seems to be the time when cyclists thoughts turn to having their bikes serviced. Approach those mechanics with confidence. Let our guys give your bike the once over first. We will be under Peckham Arch tightening brakes, indexing gears and giving wise advice ("clean that chain" "those tyres need air"). I particularly recommend the […]
For our regular 2nd Saturday ride from Canada Water, planning an easy-paced ride to the Bermondsey Street Festival (Festival details on Facebook at http://tiny.cc/vm21bz) An outward route with lots to see. Down the Albion Channel to the Thames. West along the Thames path to Tower Bridge. Cross Tower Bridge then use pedestrian crossing to get […]
If it’s been a few weeks since you came, you need to know that the venue has changed. All those who came to the last one already know. It’s now in the cheerful and friendly Camberwell Leisure Centre in wonderfully named Artichoke Place SE5 8TS. The photo makes it look a bit grim but it’s […]
Our regular 3rd Saturday longer ("+") ride. A loop along the south side of the Thames to Woolwich and back along the north side. Lots to see and pretty much flat. From Canada Water head to the Thames and join the Thames Path (National Route 4) to Cutty Sark. Stop there at 10am so that […]
Southwark Cyclists Car Free Day Southwark Cyclists are planning to run rides and events as part of London Car Free Day, starting at 11am. The programme will include group rides around the car free area (including Tooley St, Tower Bridge, Fenchurch St, Bank, Bishopsgate, London Bridge). We will be organising some small competitions on Tooley […]
Our mechanics and their weighty toolkits will be tightening brakes, indexing gears and diagnosing that irritating squeak ("it's the back wheel falling off"). They will be in their usual pitch at the Dunton Road/Lynton Road traffic lights near Cafe Crol (good coffee). Keeping them occupied is a full time job. Bring your problems -- they […]
New version of a route we have cycled several times (see report 27 Oct 2017, http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-oct-dec-2017.html). This time will include Telegraph Hill. We have not been up there to admire the view for a while. Outward route up to Telegraph Hill then down to Brookmill Park and a not too steep route up to Blackheath […]
