Tour de Hillingdon
Saturday, May 24 @ 9:30 am - 2:00 pm
Join our leisure ride ‘Tour de Hillingdon’ – Family Friendly led-ride around the highlights of Hillingdon. London Cycling Festival means wherever you are in London, even if you don’t normally cycle in your area, you and your family and friends will be able to get out on a cycle ride and enjoy the freedom cycling brings with other locals.
Here in Hillingdon we will be hosting the “Tour de Hillingdon” a leisure ride that is a 30 km loop of the borough starting from and ending at Manor Farm Ruislip. At a leisurely pace the route should be complete in no more than 3 hours including short breaks throughout the route. We will pass through or near a variety of local highlights including:
Swakeleys Park
The Battle of Britain Bunker
Brunel University
Little Britain Lake
Stockley Country Park
Barra Hall Park
The Polish War Memorial
Highgrove Woods
If you don’t feel confident in completing the full circuit, why not ride the first few kilometres? Or as the ride is in sections if you prefer you can join us at a different starting point and cycle a single section only.

Note this is a family friendly ride, but given the distances, might not be suitable for younger children. The route includes some gravel paths and bridleways which can get muddy so bear that in mind also.
The London Borough of Hillingdon will be on site at Manor Farm from 9.30 with Dr Bike – the free bike maintenance gurus offering their services to anyone who shows up, whether participating in the ride or not.
The ride will be officially started by the Mayor of Hillingdon Council, Councillor Philip Corthorne at 10:00AM.
