Breeze on the Met Line: Chesham to Chiltern Velo

- We will cycle on quiet roads with lovely views to Chiltern Velo café at Hawridge. This is a new cafe/cycle workshop with a warm welcome for cyclists (as the name suggests). I especially like their 70% dark hot chocolate.
- We will go out via Pednor, Swan Bottom, St Leonards, Cholesbury and back via Asheridge, and across St Marys Park: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39815914
- This has some steep hills and descents, so you need to be fairly confident riding, but we will regroup at the top of every hill and nobody will be left behind. I will be riding my MTB, not my road bike, so it won’t be a fast ride. So if you have a hybrid that will be ideal. If you have a road bike you might need to be patient!
- Please bring the usual (inner tubes, etc). I would prefer that you wear a helmet for your own safety.
- I can’t see who is on the waitlist, so if you are on it, send me a message via the “message ride creator” button, with your phone number, and I will see whether I can make another space (you need to be logged in to the let’s ride website to see that button)
- You can easily get to Chesham by Chiltern Rail or Metropolitan Line
- If you are unsure of the way to the pool we can call in at the station on the way if you message me beforehand.
- You can take your bike anywhere on the Metropolitan Line off-peak Mon-Fri (peak hours are 7:30-9:30 and 16:00-19:00). For info see
