Grand Day Out - Canons Park Picnic from Harrow Weald

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

This route takes us through Boxtree Park and Byron Park to reach Canons Park in Stanmore. The return journey is via Gordon Avenue. If you want to make your own way home, that's fine.

Before you come, please pump up your tyres and check that the brakes work, and the wheels turn freely. Bring water, a bike lock and something to sit on.

Other rides on the Harrow Cycle Hub Group are coming from across Harrow, so if this one is fully booked, you can join the waiting list or search on your postcode for others. Please message the ride leader with any queries.
