Evening ride to The Case Is Altered pub

Come on, come on. Hurry up, Harry, come on!

This is a Community Ride, not a Guided Ride.

This is an evening ride to spend a social hour or so in the garden of The Case is Altered pub in Eastcote. We will use mostly quiet roads but there are a couple of short, busier stretches. We’ve thrown in a little bit of climbing and, if it’s dry, a short off-road trail. This is very ridable but a bit bumpy in places. We’ll be travelling at a modest pace. The ride should finish before it gets dark but bring lights for your journey home and in case we are held up for any reason.
Please note that the pub does not take cash.
If anyone lives closer to Eastcote and would like to meet us there, we aim to arrive by 19:15 and depart at about 20:30.

Speed: 8-10mph
Climbing: 470ft

Check your bike before the ride, paying particular attention to the brakes and tyres. Use this guide: https://lcc.org.uk/advice/bike-safety-check/. Bring a spare innertube, a pump and tools to fix a puncture. Dress appropriately for the conditions.

The time for the ride is a best estimate by the Ride Leader. Sometimes this can be affected by factors such as the weather, mechanical issues, the queue at the cafe, etc. We have a policy of leaving no rider behind so, if anyone is struggling, we will adjust the speed and take rest stops if necessary.

We will meet at the pump track in Kenton Rec. Parking is available at the Carlton Avenue entrance. The nearest stations are Kenton (Lioness Line) and Northwick Park (Metropolitan Line). Neither has step-free access. If using a satnav to reach the start point, use the postcode HA3 8AY to enter the Rec from Carlton Avenue, or HA3 8LU to enter from Kenmore Avenue. Alternatively, the What3Words location is ///park.movie.smashes.
