Ride on a surprising 18 mile excursion down the Colne River Valley, through the rural hinterlands of Hillingdon and back though South Oxhey, much of this off-road. There is a significant section on the canal towpath and there are road sections with typical town levels of traffic. There are narrow bridlepaths. There is only one significant hill on Potter Street and Potter Street Hill which is about 2 miles

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
