Amersham Beautiful Beginners

Starting from the car park at Hervines Park we will ride on mainly flat quiet country roads around the Chilterns.

Please check that your bike is roadworthy: Check your brakes are working well, your gears are smooth and your tyres are in good condition and pumped up. British Cycling have put together a handy video for checking your bike before a ride - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwSi-AGwm5g

Please also check that you have spare inner tubes, a bike pump. Cycle helmets are compulsory. Please remember bike lights - front and back.

You shouldn't need panniers or a rucksack – try to get everything in your pockets or in a saddle bag if you can. Wear comfortable cycling or sports gear. You may want to bring a waterproof if it looks like it’s going to rain (Note: if it is heavy rain or very windy, we will not go out).


We will be riding at a leisurely pace so this ride is very suitable for beginners or those wishing to increase their confidence in bike riding. First timers are very welcome!
