Easy paced ride to see how far we can get along the Thames path heading east. Thames path is now all open again after building work. Some of the best cycle track you will ever see, but also some very narrow bits. Care needed on these stretches and giving way to pedestrians. Hope to get […]

Meet at the Southwark Needle (located on SE corner of London Bridge, at top of Duke St Hill, adjacent to London Bridge Station) for a 3.5 hour easy ride to Walthamstow.

Run by Bruno (see pic taken on a warmer day) on behalf of Southwark Cyclists in Camberwell Leisure Centre which has south-east London’s most memorable address, Artichoke Place SE5 8TS. The leisure centre is friendly, cheerful, accessible and welcoming. Bruno and the boys are the same. Everyone is welcome and no one pays. This is […]
Easy-paced 2 hour ride, this one mostly quiet roads with a few path sections through parks. Some gentle hills, nothing extreme. The Quaggy meets the Ravensbourne close to Lewisham station where much new development is taking place. The opportunity has been taken to open up this built-in water feature as "Confluence Park". The ride will […]
Southwark Cyclists' volunteer Bob Eva, the speedgun and his personal protection, PCSO Kevin Phillips will be at the junction of Lordship Lane and Court Lane. This is always a popular spot with the guys -- lots of law-breaking, as anyone who cycles through here can testify. It's a mutual protection society. Kevin protects Bob from […]

Outward route will go via Vauxhall and Battersea Power Station to Battersea Park. […]

Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be wielding the speed gun at the junction of Croxted Road and the South Circular. He will be protected by PCSO Kevin Phillips who writes down the numbers and makes of offending vehicles and arranges for TfL to send them rude letters. Those caught twice get more harsh treatment. They […]
