Metroland

This adventurous 25 mile route follows in John Betjeman's (poet) footsteps to discover Metroland. Starting in Sudbury, close to Betjeman’s beloved Brent Valley, the ride ascends Harrow on the Hill (another Betjeman poem), descending into Harrow Weald then out into the countryside up Clamp Hill and along Old Redding, to enjoy views over the Weald and back towards Harrow Hill. Then it's on to Oxhey Woods and Moor Park, you can stop in Northwood for a breather and to see an iconic suburban road from '70's sitcom heaven! There's so much to see on this great route.

This route has 1,454 feet of climbs and a maximum gradient of 11%. The pace is expected to average 10 mph.

All participants are expected to bring:
• A bike in good working order with tyres pumped to the correct pressure. Please conduct a pre-ride safety check on your bike.
