GUC To Wembley

Comments Off on GUC To Wembley

Please arrive by 9:50, to 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 Yummy PL (Polish Cafe) 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, because the towpath can be gravely, low hanging branches, pedestrians, dog walkers and narrow sections. Now avoids Sudbury Hill and the hill to Mount Vernon. 

Any bike, though skinny tyres might struggle
