WATFORD CYCLE HUB: LOVELY LANES: AVERAGE PACE 8-10MPH

Starting from Watford Cycle Hub, enjoy a lovely Sunday morning ride along tranquil, idyllic country lanes, including a section called "Under the Heavens" by locals. The route takes us through attractive farm land and across two village greens. There are a number of rolling hills, but the scenery is worth the effort! :)

This is a Steady Plus Route, ie. the hills are 'rolling' but there are no whoppers! There'll be a couple of slightly busier sections on the Sarratt Road. This will be a slower paced ride averaging around 8-10 miles mph over the route. This is a perfect 'step up' ride for all who want to get out into the countryside, but do not want to be at a push on pace. Children who can go the distance and know how to use their gears are also warmly invited to ride with you. :) We hope to make it a very relaxed & enjoyable ride for everyone to enjoy.

Please bring a spare inner tube in case of a puncture - as it's easier to change an inner tube than repair a puncture. Watford Cycle Hub sell inner tubes from £4.50 new 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 and wear clothing suitable for the weather conditions and perhaps a backpack so you can put on or take off layers as needed. Also bring some money for our cafe stop if you would like to buy a drink, snack or light lunch.

Watford Cycle Hub can check over your bike and we can pump up your tyres for you if you come in good time before the ride. 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. Watford Cycle Hub are a Not-For-Profit, Community Enterprise and promise to give you an honest price if your bike needs fixing, fine tuning or a full service. :)

We look forward to riding with you. :)
