Starting from - The Ebury Way is a traffic-free route, following the line of a disused railway track through trees, passing by gravel lakes, rivers and over the Grand Union Canal. At the centre of the Aquadrome are three lakes, formed by the extraction of gravel used in the construction of the original Wembley Stadium. This easy, virtually flat, traffic free route is a perfect mini-adventure for beginners & families & anyone wanting a gentle, sociable, easy Sunday morning ride with a leisurely cafe stop, at the Cafe-in-the-Park. :) Whether you want to have brunch or a hot drink and cake, your company is warmly welcome as we enjoy a relaxed social ride with extended cafe time. :) There may be a bit of a wait, as this is an excellent cafe, but that also gives us all a chance to chat and we promise the food and drink at the Cafe-in-the-Park is worth waiting for! :) Check out: https://thecafeinthepark.com/


Everyone welcome! :)

Please bring:
- Two spare inner tubes, as in the event of getting a puncture, changing a tube is faster than fixing a puncture.

Watford Cycle Hub can sell you inner tubes if you turn up 15 minutes before the ride.

- Appropriate clothing for conditions on the day
- A drink and snack(s)
- Debit Card (for the cafe)
- Mobile phone - in case you need to call a friend or a taxi for a lift home. This also allows you potentially to just ride one-way, if more enjoyable for you...

Please check your bike is in good working order before the ride - especially that your brakes are working & your tyres are pumped.

Should your bike be in need of a bit more TLC, as a Not-For-Profit, Community Enterprise, we do free bike assessments and will offer you an honest price for fixing, fine tuning or servicing your bike.
