Change to Wednesday evening Mend and Ride

  • by

The second Wednesday of the month workshop that we have been running for over a year will have to change to the second Thursday from this month (September).  Although for this month only, changing from the second Wednesday to the nearest Thursday will mean we are not running a workshop on the 14th September, but on Thursday 15th September. Time and place still unchanged: Young Lewisham Project, 124, Kilmorie Rd,… Read More »Change to Wednesday evening Mend and Ride

Changes to August Mend and Ride

  • by

Its the holiday month so lots of folk are away. At the same time we’re very busy with school holiday stuff. So we’ve been a bit stretched and have to cancel our August third Friday Mend and Ride.  We are also attending Chinbrook Meadows Dog Show, with a Dr Bike, cycle jumble and information stall on the 21st August 11am to 4pm.  Therefore our usual last Sunday of the month… Read More »Changes to August Mend and Ride

Dunwich Dynamo 2016: Back once more

  • by

The forecast looked about as good as it could possibly be for a ride from London by night to the Suffolk coast. Warm, but not too warm, dry and a touch of a tail wind. So, my final decision, always made on the day, was to ride. However, had I not promised to lead a ride from Ladywell up to the start point I think I’d probably have crashed out… Read More »Dunwich Dynamo 2016: Back once more

At Last! A Cycle Strategy for the Borough.

  • by

The effects of austerity policies on local government spending have been felt all over Lewisham in may different departments.  Roads and Transport have not escaped and it has become increasingly clear over the last couple of years or so, that the council was going to need even more encouragement if not an active a helping hand if we were ever to see a cycle strategy for the borough in the… Read More »At Last!

Another Parks Ride

  • by

I arrived at Le Delice early and as I breakfasted people began to arrive. By the time we were ready to leave there were 14 of us. Not bad for a January morning with rain forecast later on. It was good to see riders I had first met a while ago on rides last year, returning and keen as ever! We headed off down the good old Waterlink Way! We… Read More »Another Parks Ride

Two Counties Ride

  • by

The forecast was pretty bad.  Gale force winds with gusts up to 50mph, storm Desmond moving though during the day.  So, I wasn’t surprised to find a much reduced group of merely six riders at Ladywell.  We left promptly at 9am.  I didn’t want to hang around as the weather, already very blustery, was scheduled to get worse in the afternoon.   Fiona caught us as we entered Ladywell Fields… Read More »Two Counties Ride

Penshurst and Chiddingstone Ride

  • by

Chiddingstone and Penshurst Ride This was a train assisted ride to maximise the amount of daylight riding in countryside a bit further out in Kent, now winter draws on.  The forecast was bad and indeed it was raining as I left.  I’d overslept a bit so didn’t have time to ride to the Otford meet point as I usually do, but met Fiona and Steve on the train. At Otford,… Read More »Penshurst and Chiddingstone Ride
