Wheathampstead 30 mile Loop - 12 mph

Wednesday (30 miles - Wheathamsptead)
This is a 30 mile loop with a take away coffee stop at the end. Speed 12mph so 2.5hrs actual riding time but allow an extra hour on top for briefing, breather stops, any mechanicals and coffee time. A big loop so we will pause for a quick snack break and of course regroup at top of hills.
The route will take us on some lanes and some busy roads via Codicote, Watton, Knebworth to name a few.

Start is outside Loafing (The Bakery) in Wheathampstead at 9.30am, we will be riding on a mix of some quieter lanes some busier roads. We will go through Codicote, Watton and Knebworth to name a few.

Please do check your emails and text messages before leaving, I may have to cancel the ride if it is not safe for us to ride. Fingers crossed :)

The important bits:

Covid Related : We will adhere to British Cycling Guidelines on group size and social distancing. Please carry in your pocket, a mask, hand sanitiser and gloves. Ensure your bike is in good working order and you have an emergency backup/taxi number to call on in case of issues. Please do not attend if you have covid symptoms, of course.

Ride Related:
- check your bike the night before (Tyre pressure will go down when your bike has not been used or from use!)
- carry 2 spare inner tubes, tyre levers and correct pump
- Money for coffee/emergencies. Helmet (compulsory on ride-sorry!)
- Water and a snack, just in case
- Appropriate bright and warm clothing (Rain/Sun – hopefully the latter)
- Lights (not essential but a plus in winter)
