Ealing Cycling Campaign's Ealing Garden Suburbs and/or River and Parks Rides
Depending on weather and turn-out Ealing Cycling will run one or both of these rides on the day.
Ealing Garden Suburbs
Ealing boasts two leafy garden suburbs, both of which claim to be the first of their kind in the UK.
This easy-paced ride takes in Bedford Park near Turnham Green and the Brentham Estate in North Ealing.
Your ride leader will provide some historical background, and point out town planning and architectural features of interest as we cruise through quiet residential streets. You can then decide which estate's claim is the stronger.
