Boxmoor to Cheslyn Gardens on roads & canal towpath

This is a fairly flat route and will give riders a chance to explore local roads down towards Watford. There will be some traffic, but the leaders will keep everyone safe and support riders,particularly at junctions.
We always ride as a group, so the pace will be appropriate for the riders on the day.
Cheslyn Gardens is a beautiful secret garden in Watford, tucked away - many local residents are unaware it is there!! Once we've spent a little time at Cheslyn, we'll briefly ride through Cassiobury park on the way to the canal towpath and our coffee stop.
Then we'll head back up the canal towpath, back towards our starting point.

A ride from Hemel Hempstead to beautiful Cheslyn Gardens in Watford using roads and canal towpath

We will need to use a few small sections of busy road, but mostly we'll be on quieter roads and then on sections of the towpath.

We'll take some time to explore Cheslyn Gardens and then head to our coffee stop at Coffee and at Hunton Bridge.

Please ensure you wear a helmet and bring spare inner tubes in case of punctures. We will make a short stop for coffee before heading back along the canal. Please note this ride is NOT suitable for road bikes as we will be riding on the canal towpath.

We especially welcome newbies!
