Starting point




London
HA1 1XY

Our route takes us north to climb Clamp Hill. We then head through Bushey Heath and down Little Bushey Lane. We cross the A41 and to pass through Letchmore Heath. We visit the Rustic Rhubarb cafe in Aldenham Country Park. Those with a sense of culinary adventure may wish to sample the bacon and rhubarb pizza!

The return journey includes the climbs up Elstree Road and Heathbourne Road before levelling out across Stanmore Common. We descend Dennis Lane, cross Stanmore Broadway and take some quiet (and relatively flat) roads back to the starting point.

The route has significant hills and stretches with busier traffic - sometimes both at the same time. Participants need to be confident cycling in these conditions.

Check your bike before the ride. Bring a spare innertube, a pump and tools to repair a puncture.

The time for the ride is a best estimate by the Ride Leader. Sometimes this can be affected by factors such as the weather, mechanical issues, the queue at the cafe, etc. We have a policy of leaving no rider behind so, if anyone is struggling, we will adjust the speed and take rest stops if necessary.
