We welcome new-comers !

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, ending up with a circuit of Broomfield Park. We then come back for coffee at Oakhill Park.
Please ensure your brakes are working and tyres are pumped up. What to wear? Anything comfy.

Participants should bring with them a fully working bike (please check yours before arriving as we are unable to make repairs on the day), helmets are advised but not compulsory, cash/card for the cafe, water and snacks and paying attention to the weather forecast to decide what to wear - who knows if it is sun screen or rain gear - so please check the weather forecast the night before.

Participants are also asked to bring with them a face mask (for the cafe) and also hand sanitiser for their personal use. We will ensure social distancing measures are in place throughout.
