Canons Park Picnic with LCC

20 September is the London Cycling Festival! Join Harrow Cycle Hub for a family bike ride and ‘pannier picnic’ in beautiful Canons Park. We’ll take quiet roads and parks wherever possible and we aim to arrive by 12 noon.
Friends and family are very welcome to join us. Bring a picnic or buy something at the café. Come and celebrate with other cyclists from across Harrow and beyond. Children over 8 are welcome on the ride provided a supervising adult rides with them. We'll spend a couple of hours at the picnic, before returning around 2pm.

Go to the LCC site to book your place and choose your start location.

New riders are especially welcome. We have a policy of leaving no rider behind so we will adjust the speed and take rest stops if necessary. If you have questions or concerns speak to the Ride Leader or contact them before the ride. We ask that you read the full details of the ride including the distance and terrain to ensure the ride will be enjoyable for you.

We will use a mix of roads and cycle paths on this relatively flat route. The route has sections where we will walk to either use pedestrian crossings or pass through stations. It has some right turns on roads with traffic.

We will pause briefly along the way.

Please check your bike at home before the ride leaving yourself time to remedy any issues such as brake adjustments and repairing punctures. Bring a spare inner tube of the correct size and valve type for your bike, the tools to repair a puncture and a bike lock. If you are unsure then you can speak to the Ride Leader. It is advised that you bring money for a café stop or unexpected circumstances such as taking the train home. Please be mindful that not everywhere takes cash payment. Consider the duration of the ride, the time of day you will be riding and the weather forecast. Dress appropriately ensuring no loose clothing or long laces that could get entangled in bike parts.

First-timers welcome!
