Breeze to the beach: Ruislip Lido ride

It might be the beginning of September, but hopefully it will still be warm enough to go to the beach!

This ride will start from Northala Fields, and then head out through residential roads through south Ruislip and Eastcote, with some gentle rolling hills along the way. We have the option of a short detour to Eastcote House, before reaching the Ruislip Lido where we will stop for refreshments. The café and pub have a limited range of food, or bring your own to picnic.

The return ride takes us on quiet roads to West Ruislip and Ickenham, then down to the Grand Union Canal towpath near Yiewsley. We turn off the canal at Southall to use a segregated cycle path back to Northala Fields.

Please note that the canal towpath and some other short sections of this ride are unpaved and uneven in places, probably not suitable for road bikes.
