This year the Let's Ride Through Winter Challenge runs from Saturday 7th January until Sunday 26th February 2023. Take part in four Breeze, Guided Rides or Community Group rides throughout January and February and you will earn a virtual "Winter Challenge" badge which can be shared on social media. There will also be a fortnightly prize draw with prizes to be announced soon. I will be leading 6 rides during this time so please look out for them on Let's Ride and the Watford Breeze group's Facebook page and get signed up for some fun!

Starting from the Timberlake Car Park off Radlett Road in North Watford, this route goes through North Watford, Garston and Bricket Wood, stopping to admire the pretty Picture House, before dropping down through the woods and returning via a circular route through Garston Park. Note there is no cafe stop on this short ride.

Over 60% of this ride is traffic-free, using tarmac cycleways and shared paths. It is suitable for all bikes although road bikes with slick tyres are not advised due to some uneven and slippery surfaces we will go through. Also if you have a fear of heights please note we do have to cross one busy road via an overbridge so if this a problem please don't book on as there is no safe crossing point at ground level. Contact the Ride Leader if you have any questions.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear a helmet as the route goes through some bumpy terrain. Don't forget a drink and a snack, a spare inner tube or two, and some cash or a card in case of emergency.

Please ensure you have lights on your bike as visibility is very important at this time of year, even in daylight.

Please arrive by 10:50am so we can run through a riders register and bike checks before we set off.

Look forward to seeing you!
