Watford Cycle Hub: To Cafe Bean Here

If one of your New Year's Resolutions was to get out on your bike for fresh air, friendship and gentle exercise - this will be a nice gentle start for you. :)

The route has only 70 metres of climbing in total so will give you some gear practice & allow you some quiet road practice through the Cassiobury Estate. Provided conditions are not too slippy, we will meander back via the Grand Union Canal towpath.

Everyone is welcome, including children, and we can make adaptations to the route, based on who comes to ride on the day...

Please bring a spare inner tube in case of a puncture - 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. You can also come along early before the ride to use our track pump, or we can help get your tyres to the correct pressure for you 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 Not-For-Profit and promise to give you an honest price if your bike needs fixing, fine tuning or a full service. :)
