The Bunker and The Temple

Away from the bustle, this route follows quiet backstreets and tranquil parks to discover the gentle side of Harlesden, Willesden and Neasden. The route passes through Heritage-listed Roundwood Park. Enjoy the views of Wembley when you get to leafy Gladstone Park before passing the location of Churchill's secret bunker. Finally, the crown jewel is the fantastic BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (otherwise known as the Neasden Temple), which can be visited after the ride, and if you have worked up an appetite, you may want to enjoy an Indian buffet at the accompanying restaurant. This ride has a total of 82 metres of climbs.

All participants are expected to bring:
• A bike in good working order with tyres pumped to the correct pressure. (If in doubt, have it checked over by a local bike shop or qualified mechanic).
• Carry at least a spare inner tube, pump and tyre levers.

• A drink and energy bar.
