We will have an information stall at this popular local festival – plus Barnet Council is providing a cycle mechanic to do Dr Bike safety checks and carry out minor repairs. So bring your bike along for a check – and tell your friends. The mechanic will be there between 1-4pm. Helpers will also be needed to man the stall and talk to visitors about cycling locally and encourge them to join the LCC.
Any questions contact: alison.ewington@ntlworld.com
Good rides come in threes! As the Zeppelin ride has been postponed, we will instead be heading to St Albans for another chance to explore the Gorhambury estate. Lunch will be at the swimming pool cafe in Verulam park after which there will be a choice of three rides:
Group 1 – Talia will lead a longer route through the Gorhambury estate before returning to Barnet via Chiswell Green, Radlett and a tea stop at Shenley Park.
Group 2 – Kathryn will lead a shorter route to the ruins of Old Gorhambury before returning to St Albans to meet up with Group 3.
Group 3 – Ian will lead a ride after lunch taking in either the Roman museum or new Town Hall museum before returning to Barnet with a tea stop en route.
1st Meet Point – 10am Tally Ho Corner, North Finchley N12
2nd Meet point – 10.30am Barnet, The Spires, by the bandstand outside Waitrose.

We had planned that Charles Harvey would lead a Zeppelin themed ride. However, due to illness this is not now possible, But we will run a ride on the 17th – starting at the same meeting points and time (10am at Tally Ho, and 10.45am at The Spires).
More details will be posted on the website after this coming weekend – please check back on the website or, even better, make sure you are signed up for ‘posts’ from the website as a reminder.
I’m leading a cycling weekend in Peterborough for the Ealing LCC group on the weekend of 11th / 12th August. If you missed out on the Barnet Cycling Campaign weekends in Peterborough in 2014 and 2016 or would like to repeat some of the rides, you would be most welcome to join us. The exact details still have to be finalised but we will probably go to Little Gidding on the Saturday and Fotheringhay on the Sunday.
For further information, please contact Charles Harvey.
