Please arrive by 8:50, to be ready to leave at 9:00

On the 110th anniversary of the first day of The Somme, we have a recreation of the BHF London to Brighton bike ride, starting from just outside Euston Station to make things easier for Spokes West Herts riders. I have derived the name from the expression used throughout the trenches and, from a cycling perspective, our “going over the top” will be Ditchling Beacon ! We will return to London by train.

Suitable for Road bikes

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 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.

No skinny tyres, please
