Hatch End Station in time to catch the 0951 train, to arrive at Bushey at 0957. You can catch the same train from South Kenton at 0942, Kenton 0944, Harrow & Wealdstone 0946, Headstone Lane 0949 or Carpenders Park 0954.

This is an easy ride along the Ebury Way, a disused railway line and designated cycle track between Watford and Rickmansworth. The leader will join the train at Hatch End Station but you can also take the train from other stations on the line (check on www.nationalrail.co.uk) or meet us at Bushey Station at 10.00am. We will help each other carry our bikes up and down station stairs as necessary. Please arrive in good time for your train, and at Bushey station. The Ebury Way is almost flat with a few small ups and downs and is traffic-free. It could be a bit muddy but is generally firm. Our destination is the Watford Cycle Hub in West Watford. Please bring a picnic.Then we return the same way. Costumes and fancy dress would be great but please make sure they are bike friendly (i.e. no tassles or objects that can catch in a bike!). Suggestions for costumes: Elliot from ET (the BMX scene), witches on bike-broomsticks. The Wicked Witch of the West, from the beginning scene of the Wizard of Oz. Superhero costumes if you are a lycra lover! A cowboy/cowgirl with a "horse" bike! Pee Wee Herman. Audrey Hepburn. Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music! Please bring an Oyster card. Helmets are compulsory for under-18s. Riders are responsible for any children they bring. The recommended minimum age for this ride is 8. All children must be registered on the website. The ride is led by a qualified Breeze ride leader at a gentle pace and we will always ride at the speed of the slowest. Please pump up tyres and check all bikes are roadworthy before you arrive. We have a Facebook page: Breeze Network Harrow. Please ‘like' this page to keep up to date with our rides.
