Breeze to Flourish! #CarFreeDay

We are celebrating World Car Free Day by riding to Flourish, a craft bakery and cafe in North Watford, taking the train to avoid the steepest hills and ride along the nicest routes. We cross Pinner Park Farm to take the train from Headstone Lane to Carpenders Park, then the traffic-free Abbey Way to Flourish. We'll return by the Abbey and Ebury Ways to Rickmansworth, then take the Met Line back from Moor Park. Don't forget your Oyster card, and sunscreen! Please bring also water, a bike lock and money for the cafe. Hybrid bikes are best for this ride - road bikes with slim smooth tyres are not suitable.

Do not come if you have any symptoms of Covid-19 or are in a home with anyone who has. Bring a face mask for the train. We will observe social distancing on the ride. Please ensure your bike is in tip-top working order. Pump up the tyres, check the brakes and ensure the wheels turn freely. Bring a rucksack or pannier if you want to take home Flourish’s bread or cakes - they are very good.

PLEASE NOTE EARLIER THAN USUAL START TIME, SO THAT WE CAN CATCH THE TRAIN!

Amazing bakery and green fields

About 80% is traffic-free. There is also a brief stretch on a bridleway across Pinner Park Farm

We'll stop at craft bakery Flourish in North Watford

No special gear needed: just water, money for the cafe and a bike lock. Don't forget your Oyster card.

We especially welcome newbies!
