Watford Cycle Hub: Cake Shack - Chipperfield

This ride is especially for adults, children and teens who want to increase their riding distance, know how to use their gears and want to build in climbing a few hills.

The route out to the Cake Shack at Chipperfield is mainly on very quiet country lanes, with lovely scenery.
The Cake Shack café was formerly the Common Ground cafe.

Please bring two spare inner tubes in case of a puncture - as changing an inner tube is faster than getting out the rubber glue. The Ride Leaders can help if anyone in the group has a puncture on the day. Watford Cycle Hub sell inner tubes from £4 new, or second hand ones for 50p patched, £1 with no patches, should you need to purchase one.

Please check your bike is in good working order before the ride - especially that your brakes are working & your tyres are pumped. You can also come along early before the ride to use our track pump, or we can help you get your tyres to the correct pressure pre-ride. :)

If your bike might need a little more TLC or hasn't been ridden for a while, you can always bring it in for a free assessment; we're a Not-For-Profit, Community Enterprise and promise to give you an honest price if your bike needs fixing, fine tuning or a full service. :)
