Beautiful Beginners Breeze along the Pymmes Brook

This is an ideal ride for women who haven’t cycled for a long time and want to increase their confidence. We will be sticking to level cycle paths and quiet roads. We’ll start at the Oakhill Park café for a bike check and chat about what we want out of the ride, before we gently start finding our cycling legs with a leisurely ride around the park. We then leave the park along the quiet East Walk overlooking the brook before picking up the ‘Waterfall Walk’ stretch of the Pymmes Brook trail near Brunswick Park. It’s not called Waterfall Walk for nothing – you will hear the sound of running water, refreshing on a warm afternoon. You could be cycling in the countryside !
We then come out at Waterfall Road close to the magnificent viaduct carrying the Piccadilly Line. We cross into Arnos Park and pass the small but perfectly formed Sprout mobile coffee cart before ending up with a circuit of Broomfield Park. We then come back for coffee at the Sprout and its hand crafted coffee and snacks before making our way back to Oakhill Park.
Please ensure your brakes are working and tyres are pumped up. What to wear? Anything comfy and waterproof if necessary! Helmets are recommended but not compulsory. Don't forget water, money for coffee and a bike lock if you have one. Hope you can join us - you'll be very welcome!
