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.

Route: Rickmansworth to Silverstone   No. Days: 2 Day 1: Circa 100 km Day 2: Circa 100 km Options: If 100km +100km is a bit much why not do 62km + 50km by starting at Cheddington and finishing at Chinnor.

See below for other options.  Overnight:  Individuals book their own accommodation in Bicester (or Buckingham for the alternative route) such as a Premier Inn or Travelodge. Bicester is exactly halfway.  Hotels ...

Bike rides accessible from Harrow

Group Ride Etiquette  The rides listed below are suitable for social rides so it is worth learning ride etiquette . Remember your ride leader - if there is one - may be sacrificing their own ride to lead so be on time, follow the highway code, be prepared to fix your own bike (including punctures), be responsible for your own safety, take sufficient fuel and hydration, and don't race ahead. Bike components do break, punctures happen, and these things can't be avoided. However, bike maintenance can reduce the risk of failure during a group ride. The LCC has some well worded advice on bike checks .

This includes helpful supplementary links at the end. Mont Ventoux - May 2023 Hatch End Rides The start point...

Bicester is approximately halfway.  Hotels   Bicester Premier Inn , in 2025 a room...
