Join us on a relaxed 'Steady Plus' Sunday ride which takes in cycle paths, canal tow path quiet country lanes and one busier section on the A412 towards the beautiful village of Denham. In the village we ride past gorgeous houses and pubs to the Country Park, where we pause for refreshments in the café. Our return takes us up a hill and past the golf club, after which we are rewarded with some lovely countryside views. Heading past Denham airfield we then have a gentle ride back to Watford Cycle Hub, where you can have another cuppa or chat to the team before heading home.

NB: This route is best suited to hybrids. Road bikers: this route can be done on a road bike provided you don't mind cycling on a few rougher sections on the Grand Union Canal towpath. Mtbs will be fine; you're just getting more of a work out on the couple of climbs (139 metres in total for this route, which is mainly flat).

Please bring money for the cafe if you want to buy refreshments at the cafe in the Country Park.

Please also bring two spare inner tubes in case of puncture - as changing an inner tube is faster than getting out the rubber glue. The Ride Leader will happily help if anyone in the group has a puncture on the day. Watford Cycle Hub sell inner tubes from £4 new, or recycled ones for 50p patched, £1 with no patches, should you need to purchase one. Please check your bike is in good working order before the ride - especially that your brakes are working & your tyres are pumped.

If your bike might need a little more TLC or hasn't been ridden for a while, you can always bring it in for a free assessment; we're Not-For-Profit, do free bike assessments and promise to give you an honest price if your bike needs fixing, fine tuning or a full service. :)

If you're running late on the day, please call Watford Cycle Hub on: 01923 223994. We may be able to wait for you - if we know you are on your way! :)
