GUC To Wembley

Please arrive by 10:20, to be ready to leave at 10:30

Ride south then east along the Grand Union Canal towpath, turn north east along the Paddington Arm to 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 along the towpath – perhaps 9 or 10 mph at times, as it can be challenging with gravel path, low hanging branches, pedestrians, dog walkers and narrow sections. I usually use my Brompton for this ride.

Not suitable for skinny tyres.
