A BRAND NEW GROUP
We want to welcome members to the new cycling group those who ride either road bikes or e-bikes and have some cycling experience. We ride on country lanes where possible, but inevitably, there will be some main roads. We can adjust the speed and distance according to the group's experience.
We meet at Chequer Mead Car Park Starting at 9.20 to leave by 9.30
We hope to cover between 15 - 20 miles on a circular route, taking in a coffee stop on the way—approx 2 1/2 - 3 hours.
We meet on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. The November ride - to Heaven Farm - was about 25 miles. Please have a look at the link below for details. There are some hills with a gradient average of 1600ft.
There are some cycling guidelines published by The Third Age Trust, which we recommend you read. Please take a look at the link below.
