GRAND DAY OUT - CANONS PARK PICNIC FROM WEST HARROW

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 8 mile ride will be completed at a leisurely pace and has no particularly challenging hills, We will mostly travel on quiet roads and will visit a number of parks along the way. The return journey will be more direct and you are welcome to make your own way home, if you prefer. The distance given is for the ride to Canons Park. If you wish to join the group ride back to West Harrow Park, it will add approximately 5 miles.

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.

We will meet in front of the bike racks outside the cafe (Syd’s Pizzeria & Coffee Shop) in West Harrow Park. There is a free carpark which can be accessed via Wilson Gardens. Nearest underground station is West Harrow (on the Metropolitan Line) and only a few mins walk away.

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.
