Rides on the Met Line: Chesham to Wigginton

- Note this is a mixed ride (not Breeze)
- We will cycle on quiet roads with lovely views to Wigginton Village café (or if we want a shortcut then to Chiltern Velo café at Hawridge). Out via Pednor, Swan Bottom, St Leonards, Cholesbury https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37629402
Back via Cholesbury, Asheridge, across St Marys Park https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37629467
We do most of the hard work on the way to the café, then have a glorious downhill on the way home.
- This has some steep hills and descents, typical of riding in the Chilterns, so you need to be a competent rider, but we will regroup at the top of every hill and nobody will be left behind.
- Please bring the usual (pump, inner tubes, etc). I would prefer that you wear a helmet for your own safety.
- There is a café and toilets at the Chesham Pool.
- There is free all day parking at Chesham Pool. Or you can easily get to Chesham by Metropolitan Line Tube.
- Here is a quiet route from the station to the pool carpark https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46462390 (or in google https://maps.app.goo.gl/6xnPDknS78kfu9z56 )
But if you’re worried about getting lost we can call in at the station on the way if you message me beforehand.
- You can take your bike anywhere on the Metropolitan Line off-peak (peak hours are Mon-Fri 7:30-9:30 and 16:00-19:00). For info see

- E.g if you leave on the Met Line from Harrow on the Hill at 9:41am (or Northwood Hills at 9:49) you’ll get to Chesham at 10:17.
- Please check your bike thoroughly before you come. Check your brakes are working well, your gears are smooth and your tyres are in good condition and pumped.
- If you have any questions don’t hesitate to send me a message via the “message ride creator” button, with your phone number and I will reply via WhatsApp (you need to be logged in to the Let’s Ride website to see the button).
