Starting point




London
HA5 4PW

As my inaugural ride, I aim to keep this short yet enjoyable. We will meet at Hatch End Shaftesbury Recreation Ground car park. From there, we will head towards Pinnerwood Stud, Albury Drive, and pass through Pinner town centre. After passing Pinner, we will proceed towards Rayners Lane.
The highlight of the ride will be brunch at the well-known South Indian restaurant, Saravanaa Bhavan. Anna will be there to guide you through their extensive menu. I estimate the cost to be around £12 per person, but rest assured, you will leave feeling satisfied.
After brunch, we will ride through Yeading Brook, pass North Harrow station, and return to Hatch End via St Thomas Drive. The total distance covered will be 14 km.
This route offers a variety of riding environments, including traffic-free paths, quiet residential roads, and a few sections with heavier traffic. It is a very flat route with no hills.
Please ensure your bike is checked before the ride. Bring a spare inner tube and the necessary tools to fix a puncture.
The ride duration is a best estimate provided by the Ride Leader and may be affected by factors such as weather conditions, mechanical issues, or service times at the restaurant. We follow a policy of leaving no rider behind, so if anyone is struggling, we will adjust the pace and take rest stops as needed.
