Everyone’s favourite Chiltern climb and a great cafe at the top on the highest point of the Chilterns …. not to be missed! Start at 9am from Hillingdon Station on 26th July.
The climb to the cafe is arguably the best climb in the Chilterns, it is stunning on a low traffic one-way road which isn’t too steep. It has the feel of the lower slopes of a mountain. If you have never done it, don’t miss out.
We have designed a ‘curtailed’ version of the route that offers a fast, mainly downhill, return journey.
… and if you’d like to go to the cafe without doing the climb, there is a ‘back way’ in you could use, but you’d be missing out!
START LOCATION GUIDE: HILLINGDON STATION … a great venue for your cycling adventures to begin!
SUNDAY 26th JULY at 9am from Hillingdon Station
A unique route deesigned by West London Cycling which spins out to the Thames Valley.
Cafe stop at Wendover Woods.
We split into different speed 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.
GROUP RIDING: If you are new to club riding, West London Cycling is a great club to get into it with. Before you start, why not learn a few of cycling’s protocols and etiquettes? It’ll help you slot in and feel at home from the get-go!
