Cancelled due to Covid-19 pandemic. Start/finish in Deal Porter Square opposite Canada Water Station. Easter Saturday - but just the usual easy-paced ride on, as far as possible, quiet streets and paths. Check back for more route information nearer the date.
Still happening but certainly not on Easter Monday any more When it happens this ride round London will visit every location on the Monopoly Board. Werner leading. Ride will start at a central location (probably Southwark Needle or South Bank, check back for this and other details). Route details nearer date. Will be about 25 miles, […]
Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be representing the community in a mutual protection society with PCSO Kevin Phillips. The only people angry about CSW are motorists. The community representation (Bob) shows that people without cars care about speeding and Kevin in full police uniform answers the charge that "if speeding mattered the police would do […]

Our guys will be in the cheerful and friendly Camberwell Leisure Centre in wonderfully named Artichoke Place SE5 8TS. It’s a delightful building with cafe, good staff and, now, great bike fixing.

Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. Simon will […]

Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be holding the speedgun and PCSO Kevin Phillips will be writing down the registration numbers on Dog Kennel Hill near the junction with Quorn Road. Dog Kennel Hill does (probably) have a real connection with dogs in that Prince George of Denmark had kennels for his hounds here. However, there is also a theory that an […]
