Barnet Cycling Campaign – building a better biking borough – part of London Cycling Campaign
On Friday, 19 August (tube strike day) the LCC will be flyering at busy cycle lanes and junctions around London. The message is “cycle more with LCC – we’ve helped make your ride better.” LCC have a few locations in mind, but you can also flyer your own local area.

This month, after a quick catch up and a cup of coffee, we will have a discussion about where to head off to for summer rides. Could be local – could be far afield. Have you any special recommendations? Or want to ask others where they can recommend. Do come along for a chat to mark the end of this season of meetings (we have been promised very nice biscuits…..).
Note the date for the next meeting after this is Thursday 29th September. But do keep an eye on the website for rides and events over the summer.
Meet: 8pm, Trinity Church Centre, Nether Street, North Finchley N12.
All welcome.

What? Planning Meeting for the Town Team ‘Sustainable High Rd’ event
When? MONDAY 27th June 2022 7pm -8.30pm
Where? Martin School Dining Hall, Plane Tree Walk, High Rd N2 9JP
We recently had a successful launch event attended by over 70 East Finchley traders and residents and we are now getting down to business and planning for our first event which will take place on the High Road on Saturday September 17th, 2022. This will focus on Sustainability, from big topics such as how we can sustain our High Road in the future but also practical information about which shops on the High Road provide refill service or a recycling point etc. On the day there will be stalls and activities.

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY: Thursday 30 June: Meeting – LOCAL CYCLING GROUPS
Our special topic this month will be a round up of most of the groups that run rides in Barnet and southern Herts. There are probably more out of there than you realise. Different days, lengths and speeds. If you are new to the group or want to see what’s out there, this is the meeting attend to find out where you can find rides that suit you.
The LCC have had to close sign ups for the RideLondon FreeCycle due to a shortage of marshals (except in boroughs where there are less than 50 sign ups). This is so they can keep the ride size to safe numbers. If you have friends or contacts who want to take part, they can sign up to be marshals. If they have a big sign up of marshals, they can consider opening some of the rides again. If you have friends, colleagues or contacts who are keen to join and they are confident cyclists, encourage them to sign up to volunteer marshal.Â
