Short Arty Ride

This is a short, easy, flat ride, taking us to see several artists exhibiting (and selling) their work in their own studios as part of Harrow Open Studios (https://www.harrowopenstudios.com/) at three locations: 14, 3 and 15 in the guide. Paintings, woodturning, ceramics…there’ll be something for everyone. There’s no obligation at all to purchase, but you might like to snap up a postcard or similar that’ll fit in your bike bag. We’ll probably go inside a few at a time, with those outside guarding our bikes.

We'll use quiet local roads except for crossing the Uxbridge Road, which we'll probably do on foot.

We’ll stop for tea either at The Stables, or at the Parklife cafe in Boxtree Park, before returning to the Moat Cafe.

Check your bike before the ride, especially tyre pressure and brakes. Bring a spare innertube (check it's the correct size), a pump and tools to repair a puncture. Bring some money for possible purchases and for tea.

First-timers are welcome!
