Ladywell Downe and Fickleshole

Nine of us at Ladywell Fields cafe – only just opening as we leave, so no opportunity for a quick coffee. Beautiful sunny day and few cars as we cruised to Hayes via Bellingham and the lovely section of Greenway along the Ravensbourne River. Soon out into the country the main ‘traffic’ being returning early rising club cyclists. Steady climbing up to Downe and a well deserved stop for teas… Read More »Ladywell Downe and Fickleshole

Thursday Afterworkers

Unfortunately, I can’t manage to run an afterworker tonight.  Probably won’t be able to until the 25th.  Which is a shame as the upcoming weather looks to be beautiful.  Nothing to stop the rest of you riding off into the sunset after work, though! If things change, I may post an impromptu evening ride up- so watch this space or the FB page.  Or the Yahoo group elists.

Get out on Your Bike, Lovely Weather. Even the Rain Feels Good

See, here are a few Lewisham Cyclists enjoying our wonderful Peaks of Lewisham ride.  The 2012 version anyway- gazing at the stunning view from Telegraph Hill, the first of many on that particular ride. I am more than a little annoyed that I forgot my camera this year, because the views were probably the best we have had yet.  Magical, setting sun casting it’s ever deepening golden glow over the… Read More »Get out on Your Bike, Lovely Weather.

Tragic News

It’s only a few weeks since we posted some words in memory of one young man, killed by a dangerous driver on a Lewisham street, Olatunji Johnson Adeyanju, (also known as T.J) and the bravery and dignity of his family even in their grief.  And now another family, on another stretch of our borough’s roads, face the same sorrow and suffering, another young man gone. We always struggle to find the right words… Read More »Tragic News
