South London road riding advice

Posted on
  • Ok i'm living in elephant and castle and i want to get out more on the road bike (gears! OMG!)
    I joined dulwich paragon, but i can't make any of there tamer rides. Can anybody suggest a route say 30-40miles from e + c. Google mapped one would be awesome if anyone can be bothered.

    thanks guys!

    p.s. (joke) Why couldn't the bike get up the hill?

  • You could just bomb it round the roundabout 532 times?

  • ride to richmond park, go round three or four times then go home?

    30-40 miles solo is more fun fixed.

    club runs and 60+ distances for gears

  • Sammy I'll come with to Richmond Park, fixed mind. Thinking about getting a road bike, but not for a while...

  • I think they detail one of the routes on their site/forum - E&C - Dulwich - Crystal Palace - Elmers End - then out towards Biggin Hill. I know that it's about a 25 to 30 mile loop from Crystal Palace. Someone must have stuck it up on Bikely or something...

  • Alex get a road bike, get yourself out the city. You still in London? Gimme a shout and we'll go for a spin

  • p.s. (joke) Why couldn't the bike get up the hill?

    Because it was 2 Tyred.

  • that's an almost "cute" joke.

    Nice one, haven't read that for mebbe twenty years.

  • BMMF told me you can more or less cottage at Crystal Palace and pick up other riders for a quick one out into Kent. Or maybe I misunderstood and he was propositioning me.

  • Weds night rides by Dulwich are not quite as Colombian as the Thurs night chaingang, so they are worth a pop. Otherwise, R Park is a good bet - I usually make my way down there for a couple of laps once a week or so. Will be heading down there this evening c.5.15pm.

  • this is the dulwich paragon wednesday night route, does anybody fancy doing it tommorow - monday 16th?

  • on gears btw
