Comments Off on Great Union Canal to Wembley

Pre-booked (on Let’s Ride) Members and Non-members be ready to leave at 10:00

Ride south then east along the Grand Union Canal towpath, turn north east along the Paddington Arm to The Black Horse for lunch. Then roads – some quite busy, others residential – to a circuit around Wembley Stadium, and quiet roads back to Rickmansworth.

Pace will be slow – perhaps 9 or 10 mph, but the towpath can be challenging with gravel path, low hanging branches, pedestrians, dog walkers and narrow sections. Route ridden 6/7/22 on a Brompton. Not suitable for skinny tyres

If you are not a SPOKES Member and still wish to join our rides, we do ask that you join us after a maximum 3 rides, for a modest subscription of £12 pa.
