Kenton bike rides to parkruns

This selection of rides are all from Kenton on the border of the Boroughs of Harrow and Brent. The start and end points are at the pump track in the Kenton Recreation Grounds just between the children's playground and the bowls club. This is 100 metres into the park from the Kadwa Patidar Centre on Kenmore Avenue, HA3 8LU. The what3words reference is ///fleet.jeeps.sends 

The general plan is to leave at 7.30am, cycle for one hour, complete a parkrun and return to Kenton though times and distances will vary. You can expect to be back in Kenton for 11.15am.

Tour: Chelmsford to Clacton-on-Sea

This post describes a 3-day cycle tour from Chelmsford to Clacton-on-Sea staying overnight in Colchester and Felixstowe. Just add a start date and book your hotels. Specific timings assume a Monday to Wednesday tour in 2026 so your own train times may be different. An average of 300m ascent over 61km each day on average means this is a relatively flat tour with options to reduce the mileage each day by using the train.    The route makes heavy use of NCN 1 and NCN 51, and if you keep moving on the last day you should have time for a dip in the sea!! Seriously, prepare to enjoy a swim at Holland-on-Sea.

Here are a number of Ready-made bike rides with the information required to advertise scheduled rides on British Cycling's Let's Ride platform or other sites. If using Let's Ride then have the necessary text, photo and GPX file ready to copy in to their form because at the time of writing the platform can clear some data fields when updating the photo or the GPX file.
