Ten of us met at London Bridge on a dull but dry morning. After a 40 minute journey, we arrived in Paddock Wood and headed out almost immediately on the first of the tiny, practically traffic free country lanes that criss cross this quiet part of Kent. This ride covers the wide flat flood plain of the Beult River and is mainly farmland, orchards and old oast houses, a reminder… Read More »A lovely ride in Kent
Four of us left the hustle of London Bridge on a dull, grey evening that threatened rain, but never carried out that threat. Pleasantly warm, too. Ideal evening for an extended commute. We hopped over Tower Bridge easily, down to St Katharine’s Dock where a fifth rider was waiting on the other side of the bridge. The bridge was up, to allow a fine old Thames barge through, quite a… Read More »Another Quirky Afterworker May 2013

Hello, everyone, Asking for your help again. I am including a link to a new document we have prepared to submit to the council and once again are asking for some of your valuable time to look over it and give us your feedback before we send it off. We want people to say what they think, as it’s in only in this way that we can claim to be… Read More »Trying to Talk to the Council 2013 attempt
Great ride last Sunday with a lovely bunch of people. If you were not out on your bike at some point over this past Bank Holiday weekend, you don’t know what you missed. Sun, views, bluebells, wind in your hair, wonderful descents. Oh, how I love my bicycle! Here’s a few of us with the view from Tilburstow Hill behind. Check out the Ride Reports page for more.

I had decided on a meet point in Ladywell Fields and then to lead folks to Crystal Palace to pick up a train to Coulsdon where we would begin this ride. It is possible to ride out from Lewisham, through Croydon, down the A23 to farthing Down, and make this ride a true out and back London to country lanes ride. However, the train journey is short and cheap (1.65… Read More »Over the Hills and Not So far Away (Sunday 26th May 2013)
I could not let this week go past without remembering Olatunji Johnson Adeyanju, known as TJ, a 17 year old just starting out on what had the potential to be, by all accounts, an adult life that would have made a difference in his community. As most of you know, he was knocked from his bike on on Deptford Church St, in March last year, by a driver who didn’t… Read More »A Sad Reminder
