On Saturday I will be taking the train to Labour Party Conference at Brighton.
Michael Situ has told me about the energetic way he and several other fellow Southwark Labour Party cyclists will be making the same journey. They want to raise awareness and encourage people to use greener modes of transport such as cycling wherever possible. He is raising funds for party campaigning particularly leading up to the London council election next year. Michael is pictured extracting a contribution from Ed Miliband recently.
The team will be leaving Camberwell Green early in the morning, aiming to arrive in Brighton in late afternoon time with stops for lunch and refreshments on the way. The route approximates to the official London – Brighton ride, avoiding the busiest main roads. Apart from getting up Ditching Beacon towards the end, it promises to be an enjoyable challenge.
