Black Jack's Mill - canal and Ebury way

We will be going along Uxbridge Road until we take a right turning to go towards Northwood and then back again on main road going towards Harefield via Mount Vernon Hospital. There are some short steep inclines on this route but you can walk if you cannot manage on the bike and we will wait for you at the top. There is a steep hill downwards towards Black Jack's Mill for our coffee stop. Lovely gardens at the back of this cafe. We will then continue on the canal towards Aquadrome, Ebury Way and come back via Moor Park back to our start point. Road bikes will not be suitable and if it has rained we will need to change our route slightly. You need to be fairly confident to join this ride as we have steep hill downward and canal path on our way back with some inclines on our route back.
Please put your name on waiting list if the ride gets full as we normally have cancellations until last minute.
Please do not come if you have any symptoms of covid. Ensure your bike is in tip-top working order by checking tyre pressure. You must clean your bike regularly too and grease it as and when required. Also check that both your brakes are working properly. Pump up the tyres, check the brakes and ensure the wheels turn freely.
