Parks of North London Ride
A tour of the parks of North London, some large, some small, several with cafes (we'll make at least two stops). We did this last year and will follow approximately the same route but with at least one extra park thrown in. Being a bit later in the year it should be warmer and the daffodils and crocuses will be in flower.
The ride will be about two-thirds on road, with off road sections up the Parkland Way from Finsbury Park to Highgate, along the Lee valley and through some of the parks. We will find quiet roads wherever possible, so it will be an easy sociable ride and should be OK for relative beginners especially as you will be riding in a group and we'll be happy to walk across any particularly tricky junctions.
Note that this replaces our planned visit to Eltham Palace - we will delay that until later in the year when the weather should be better and we can enjoy the gardens as well as the house.

Rides information
Our rides are highlighted by "RIDE". You don't have to be a member to join in and we're also always looking for new ride ideas. Contact our Rides Co-ordinator for further information.
There is no need to register beforehand for a ride unless this is specifically stated, most rides are "turn up and go".
If you haven't ridden with us before please read our Ride Guidance Notes.
Please note that for train assisted rides we often cannot publish times until about 2 weeks beforehand because of the need to check engineering works. Also sometimes our ride leaders do have to change dates/times/routes at reasonably short notice. Generally this website will be up to date and also details will be sent out to our email groups, but if in doubt contact the ride leader or our rides co-ordinator to check arrangements.
