Kenton to Bricket Wood

This is the ride for you if you don't like hills. Starting at Kenton Recreation Ground we pass through Harrow Recreation Ground and Headstone Manor before taking the busy Oxhey Lane towards Carpenders Park. We pick up the NCN route 61 to the Oxhey Activity Park and on to Bricket Wood. We initially retrace our steps for the return then use Hampermill Lane to reach the rear entrance to Moor Park Station. There are steps down into the station then we return via Pinner including a ride through Pinner Village Gardens.

New riders are especially welcome. 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. 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 which does have short sections of main road with fast moving traffic.

We stop for drinks and snacks at the excellent Café at Bricket Wood Station if it is open. Otherwise we might stop briefly at the Tasty Bean cafe on the way out and stop for coffee and cake on the return.

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, a bike lock, water and a snack. It is advised that you bring money for the café 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.

We especially welcome newbies!
