This is a perfect ride for anybody wanting to get out and really feel like they are escaping the city on a Sunday.  The Parkland Walk is one of North London’s hidden gems. The ride itself follows the route of a disused railway line and offers a mix of forest-like trails and breathtaking views of north London. This route links the trail with the iconic Alexandra Palace and Finsbury Park.  This route is two laps so it is perfect for riders who want to do the full 15 miles or if you have had enough cycling for one day at the half way point it's the ideal drop out point.

If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal.

  • Adrian Besley Adrian Besley Things I like about cycling: Getting to the top of a hill; chatting as I go; freedom; breeze in my face; soft sucking of tyre on tarmac; more chatting; discovery; screaming in joy on a downhill; freewheeling...
