Led rides
Hub+Spoke @ Harlow Museum
As your local Community Cycling organisation our led rides are at the heart of what we do.
Harlow is a great place to get cycling, with over 30 miles of traffic-free cycle tracks around the town and linking it with the River Stort, River Lea, National Cycle Route 1, and the quiet lanes of West Essex and East Herts.
We love seeing new riders get going for the first time, welcome riders back in the saddle after a break in time and the regular rider get cycling further than they thought possible.
If you’re feeling a little apprehensive about riding in a group, or you are getting back on the bike after a long time, or after injury or illness, try a one-to-one session with one of our ride leaders. They can help you regain your confidence and your stamina back on your bike.
Our rides will not only take you around Harlow, including the many Sculptures for which the town is famous, but also down into the Lea Valley Park as far as The Olympic White Water Centre and occasionally a summertime expedition down to the Olympic Park itself.
We ride for leisure and companionship so we pace our rides to suit the slowest rider and nobody is ever left behind. There is always a break for a “cuppa” half way. Our ride Leaders are there to help with punctures and minor mechanical problems.
Excluding our family rides and beginner rides, we ask that all riders make themselves familiar with our guidelines for riding as part of a group (click on each section to expand):
