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.
