Breeze on the Met Line: Rickmansworth

- We will ride via Chorleywood, Latimer, up to Flaunden, Belsize, Sarratt, Solesbridge Ln, back to Ricky via Dog Kennel Ln and Berry Lane, with tea at the end at the Café at the Aquadrome:

- Even though the ride is short, there are some big hills, and some sharp ascents and descents. So you need to be a competent cyclist, but we will take the hills at our own pace and regroup at the top. Nobody will get left behind.
- Please bring the usual (pump, inner tubes, maybe a light café lock (it might be too cold to sit outside with bikes in view), etc). I would prefer you to wear a helmet for your safety.
- Since we won’t stop for tea until the end, you might want to bring a banana or snack to eat on the way.
- If you are driving to the start there is free parking at the Aquadrome - come in along Frogmore Lane.
- You can take your bike anywhere on the Metropolitan Line off-peak (peak hours are Mon-Fri 7:30-9:30 and 16:00-19:00). https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/cycling/cycles-on-public-transport
You can take your bike on Chiltern Rail nearly any time of day – see https://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/customer-service/travelling-your-bike
- After we leave the Rickmansworth aquadrome we can come up to the Ricky tube station to pick up anyone on the way – let me know beforehand if that’s where you want to wait instead of making your way to the aquadrome. You can send me a message via the “message ride creator” button, with your phone number (you need to be logged in to the let’s ride website to see the button).
- There are public toilets outside the aquadrome café.
- If you have any questions don’t hesitate to message me.
