Oval Cafe via the Nickey Line

This is a very easy-going ride, for those who are new to cycling, wanting a relaxing weekend ride, with or without your children.( please remember to book your child’s place as well as you own) We will ride at the pace that is best suited to everyone in the group, usually between 6-8 mph. As leaders we will ensure that no one is left behind, so that all the group can have an enjoyable ride.
We will be riding approximately 12 miles on the traffic free cycle track, called ‘The Nickey Line, heading towards Redbourn, and then onwards to Harpenden to stop finally at the Oval Cafe. The Nickey Line is a disused railway line that is now accessible for cycling and walking. This beautiful, shady track has been unspoilt with tarmac so can be a little bumpy and muddy in places. However it is a perfect riding area for anyone wanting to get back into riding with the support of a small group. It is best suited to mountain bikes/hybrid with off road tyres or gravel bikes.

Please remember to bring,
Two spare inner tubes for your bike, even if you do not know how to change them, someone in the group will, as well as the appropriate tools (tyre levers)
A waterbottle with a drink in, riding can be very thirsty work.
Cycle helmet, for your own safety.
Appropriate clothing for the weather

Now for the Covid bit…..
Although Covid restrictions have been lifted we are asking all riders to be respectful to other riders. Please do not attend if you have Covid symptoms or have been in contact with other people that have Covid. Please bring a mask and hand sanitiser.
All of the above is to keep us all safe from the virus.
