TFCC - Exploration Ride to the Chiltern Open Air Museum (Approx 50 Miles)

TFCC - Traffic Free Cycling Club rides all start from West Drayton Station, we use the network of canal tow paths, cycle paths, wooded areas and tracks to keep us as off road as possible. This allows for social interaction whilst riding. Due to the terrain we encounter this group is not about speed, mountain bikes are recommended but some riders do manage on hydbrid bikes. However please don't come along on your road bike with skinny tyres, or if you don't like mud as there is usually some mud along the route somewhere. This ride is in preparation for an event on April 1st which is the Chiltern Air Museum Open Day. We have not done this route before but the start is very well know up to Rickmansworth, and then it will involve a bit of improvising and map reviewing once we are in the Chilterns. This is not going to be easy ride, along with the mileage, there will be some quite hefty hills. All riders are welcome, the pace is usually between 8 to 10 mph. There will be stops along the way, including a lunch stop of upto 1 hour. We stop at the top of every hill to ensure the group stays together and where possible we keep the slower riders up front. We aim to be back for 6pm, but that is of course if there are any delays due to punctures, late starting etc. If you need to leave the ride early, or need to be back at certain time please let me know at the start of the ride. We will try and accommodate your requirements but if possible try and keep the whole day free it's great to return with everyone completing the ride. If you have any questions about this ride or the TFCC in general please contact Hannah Dunn on 07867824809.
