Watford Cycle Hub: Finding Common Ground - Slower Paced Group

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 pace of this ride will be below 10 mph, likely to be c. 7-9 mph over the undulating route.

The route out to the Common Ground Coffee House at Chipperfield is mainly on very quiet country lanes, with lovely scenery. Common Ground is a little gem of a cafe well worth finding. :) We may have to queue a bit but we promise the food and drink there is worth waiting for whether you want a homemade sausage roll, avocado bruschetta, or a large slab of delicious cake! :)

Evelyn Gloyn and Yves Remedios will be your Ride Leaders.

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. :)
