GRAND DAY OUT - Canons Park Picnic from Brent

25 May is the London Festival of Cycling! Join us for a family bike ride and ‘pannier picnic’ in beautiful Canons Park. We’ll take quiet roads and parks wherever possible to get there and aim to arrive by 12 noon. Friends and family are very welcome to join us there. Bring a picnic or buy something at the café. Come and celebrate with other cyclists from across Harrow and beyond. We'll spend a couple of hours at the picnic, before returning around 2pm. We aim to be back at Roundwood Park before 3.30pm.

This ride will be completed at a leisurely pace and has no particularly challenging hills. We will mostly travel on quiet roads and will visit a number of parks along the way.

Before you come, please pump up your tyres and check that the brakes work, and the wheels turn freely. Bring water, a bike lock and something to sit on.

Other rides on the Harrow Cycle Hub Group are coming from across Harrow, so if this one is fully booked, you can join the waiting list or search on your postcode for others. Please message the ride leader with any queries.

IMPORTANT POINTS: *Helmets aren't compulsory but advisable. *Check that your tyres are pumped and bring a spare inner tube and all necessary tools in case of a puncture. *If you can't make it anymore, cancel your space so someone else can join. *We have a 3-strike policy: those who don’t cancel but don’t turn on the day of the ride 3 times will be banned from booking on other rides. *Only riders who booked themselves on the ride will be allowed to join. *Unless the weather takes a nasty turn making it unsafe or unpleasant to cycle, this ride will go ahead even if it rains. Dress for the weather and bring a raincoat just in case. *We sometimes video record our rides which are later published on YouTube. By joining our rides, you are authorising your image to appear on the video and photos.

We especially welcome newbies!
