Off-Road - Ride Well

Sky Ride Local in London

Get out and explore the countryside with the brand new rural off-road routes from Sky Ride Local.  Off-road Ride Well is mostly traffic free rural bike riding for the family and novice cyclist.  There is barely a metre of tarmac in sight on these rides so come and enjoy the scrunch of gravel and the squelch of mud under your tyres with us!

A 14 mile route linking together Hampstead Heath, Alexandra Palace and Finsbury Park. Despite its urban location, you'll discover some surprising off-road routes with some fantastic views. It's a circular route, hilly in places and uses a combination of on and off-road paths. There's a cafe stop on the way where you can rest and refuel. Highpoint and highlight of the route is the Grade II listed Alexandra Palace, perched atop a hill with it's iconic TV antenna. Since the 1870s 'Ally Pally' has been used as an exhibition space, concert venue and famously as the home of the BBC from the 1930s.
