DCH to Piccotts End & return

This route is ideal for families and anyone looking to boost their confidence on a bike! :) The short ascents and descents are ideal practise for learning your gears in a supportive and fun group.

We will leave Dacorum Cycle hub via the rear of the car park out through the path to the beautiful bridleway turning left and cycling to the junction with Cupid Green Lane. We’ll follow this lovely and sometimes sunken lane together onto Dobbs Lane where we will be able to see the amazing view over Gade Valley and maybe all the way to Bridens Camp or even Nettleden if the weather is clear. Then on to the junction with Piccotts End Lane, turning to stay on Piccotts End Lane and then via Aycliffe Drive and Washington Avenue to the junction with Cupids Green Lane before heading back on to the bridleway to return to Dacorum Cycle Hub.

We recommend gloves and layering up for Winter rides.
Please check your bike is in good working order before the ride - especially that your brakes are working & your tyres are pumped.

Please bring a spare inner tube in case of a puncture - as changing an inner tube is faster than getting out the rubber glue. The Ride Leader can help if anyone in the group has a puncture on the day. Dacorum Cycle Hub sell inner tubes from £4 new, or recycled ones for 50p patched, £1 with no patches, should you need to purchase one.

If your bike might need a little more TLC or hasn't been ridden for a while, you can always bring it in for a free assessment; we're Not-For-Profit and promise to give you an honest price if your bike needs fixing, fine tuning or a full service... :)
