LCH Shimmying to Shenley – On & Off Road

A steady paced ride of 24 miles for those confident riding 15+ miles with hills. We'll be riding from Leavesden Cycle Hub to the Orchard Café in Shenley Park, where we’ll stop for refreshments, a chat and a visit to their walled garden. The café sells home made apple juice produced by Shenley Orchard, and delicious cakes as well as savoury food. The route passes through leafy Bricket Wood, pretty lanes in Shenley and Radlett, and the picturesque Munden Estate. This ride is suitable for hybrid bikes and road bikes with wider tyres. There are hills but no one is left behind. Do check beforehand that your bike is mechanically sound. Bring along water, a bike lock, 2 spare tubes and tools in case of puncture, money / contactless card for the café, and additional snacks if you think you'll be hungry. Ensure you have alternative means to get home if you are unable to fix a puncture. ** Covid Guidance ** If you are showing any Covid 19 symptoms please do not attend the ride, and if you develop any symptoms after the ride, do let me know so I can inform everyone who attended.

We will be riding mainly quiet lanes and bridleways with some hills, suitable for hybrid bikes, and road bikes with wider tyres. There are some gravel sections through the Munden Estate.

First-timers welcome!
