Kenton to Chiswick House

This 21 mile route takes us to the Chiswick House. www.chiswickhouseandgardens.org.uk. It involves very little climbing. Although there are a couple of short stretches where we have to ride with heavier traffic, we mostly travel on quiet roads, cycle tracks, a canal towpath and parks.

We will stop for refreshments at Gardens Café, but you can bring your own snacks and drinks. The Duck Pond Market will be on so we’ll take some time to browse the stalls.

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 weather conditions. Bring a drink and snack (or money to purchase).

Speed 8-10mph. Climbing 560ft.

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.
