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. Expect muddy paths especially if it had rained recently.

If you find this ride fully booked, get in the waiting list as spaces always become available nearer the date. However, please do not sign up if you’re not sure you can join.
