Syon and Osterley Parks

A steady ride to Syon and Osterley parks, with a mix of roads and segregated gravel paths. This ride is for those who have some confidence cycling in normal traffic, although we ride mainly through quiet roads or cycling paths.

We cycle through Ealing to Syon Park, and carry on to Osterley Park using a mix of normal traffic roads with cycle paths, and stop there for a coffee break at the Stables Café. On our way back, we cycle along the Grand Union Canal joining Brent River Park with a scenic view of Wharncliffe Viaduct. We ride through Ealing roads again until we join the Grand Union Canal near Harlesden.

Brent River Park is a fairly rough terrain so road bikes with skinny tyres aren't recommended on this ride.

Helmets aren't compulsory but highly advisable. Please wear a mask if entering an indoor space like a toilet or coffee shop, unless you are exempt.

Places are limited and sometimes get booked up with a waiting list. If you develop Covid-19 symptoms or have been told to self-isolate before the ride, or can't make it for any other reason, please ensure to cancel your space so someone else can join.

Unless the weather takes a nasty turn making it unsafe or unpleasant to cycle, this ride will go ahead even if it rains. Dress for the weather and bring a rain coat just in case.

First-timers welcome!
