Watford Cycle Hub: Munden Meander & Beyond

This varied 'Steady Plus' ride proves just how quickly you can get away from tower blocks & the bustle of major access routes! Within a matter of minutes you'll be riding along quite country lanes, past cottages & farms, through wooded areas, touching the edge of a golf course and discovering quiet country hostelries. We then take some more interesting tracks into the countryside...There's also a chance to ride through a ford - if you dare! :)

This route is specifically for mountain bike riders, though riders of hybrid bikes with off-road tyres are usually okay on the shorter version of this loop, if conditions have not been too wet and muddy previous to the ride...You can join the shorter version of this ride at:

Both rides will start and finish in the car park at the Meriden Community Centre, but should you want to come on to the Flourish Craft Bakery after for brunch you are most welcome! :)

Please bring two spare inner tubes in case of punctures - as changing an inner tube is faster than getting out the rubber glue. The Ride Leaders will happily help if anyone in the group has a puncture on the day. Watford Cycle Hub sell inner tubes from £4 new, or recycled 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.

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. :)
