Velos rides for Sunday 14th July 2019

As posted last week, we have the option of a mountain bike or hybrid away day. Parking at Rickmansworth Aquadrome (free Parking) WD3 1NB, riding to the Jubilee River on the NCN 61. The route is a fairly flat 48 miles with canal tow path being the roughest surface. The route takes in Windsor Castle, Eton College, Dorney Lake, Pinewood Studios, The Fat Duck at Bray and the Springwell Monkey, as well as being vastly traffic free, waterside riding. The start will be at 9:30am from the Aquadrome car park. If you are feeling extra fit, you could of course set off from Ivinghoe at 7am along the canal, meet at Rickmansworth and make it a 100 mile day out!
