Metroland

Sky Ride Local in Brent

Join us on this adventurous 25 mile ride and follow in John Betjeman’s (poet) footsteps and discover Metroland. Starting in Sudbury, close to Betjeman’s beloved Brent valley, the ride ascends Harrow on the Hill (another Betjeman poem), descending into Harrow Weald then out into the countryside up Clamp Hill and along Old Redding, to enjoy views over the Weald and back towards Harrow Hill. Then it’s on through Oxhey Woods and Moor Park, stopping in Northwood, where we will see an iconic suburban road from ‘70s sitcom heaven.  There is so much to see on this ride as well as just stretching your legs on the bike!

Location and Route

Meet the Ride Leaders

• Robert Howard Hi i am a keen cyclist who cycles almost everyday the highlight is the cycle home from work up to the top of Hampstead Heath i think it is the highest point in north London and its great to complete everyday.
  
  Normally stuck behind a desk all day so this is a great way to commute & exercise all in one,
  
  my reason for being a skyride leader is to meet & encourage other cyclists and to be part of the cycle evolution.
  
  My tip to newbie cyclists is to start small and build up slowly, plan your routes and enjoy the experience.
• Philip Woolford This is my forth year as a Skyride Leader.
