Sunday 13th October’s West London Cycling Sunday Ride is another favourite, the Giro de Gerrards Cross
This ride was originally designed to incorporate Jungs Cafe / Bakery in Beaconsfield which, sadly, closed down after many years BUT we then started going to the excellent Beech House across the road …. so the route maintained its traditional parcours and reamin one of West London Cycling’s original Routes and Culture Rides. Join us at 9am at the Polish War Memorial (A40 Ruislip / Northolt) for another West London Cycling Sunday Ruday Funday.
Just turn up at 9am at the Polish War Memorial (A40 Ruislip / Northolt) with the route downloaded on your device. To get the route you need to sign up (free – see button above to subscribe) and then you’ll have access to our routes via the members’ zone tab above (choose routes and rides).
We decide on the day as to how many groups we split into (usually 4 groups during summer) it really depends on who turns up. The faster groups will usually do the longer of the two options with the aim of us all reaching coffee stops at similar times.
You can choose your route on the day, and which group you ride in. As stated above, we generally have several groups on the road, depending on how many people are riding, so it’s flexible and tailored to riders’ needs. The slowest group will generally wait for the slowest rider (or split into sub groups) but you should be able to manage 30kph on flat stretches with an average speed of around 22kph over the distance. Faster groups will be more speedy of course.
