This is a rural ride along quiet lanes, which can be potholey or may have twigs or leaves. It's a good practice ride for getting hill- fit and for cycling downhill ( I go slowly) there are a couple of quite steep portions- one on a road with grass down the middle, and a rough surface- so you need to take care!

This is a hilly ride** along small back roads, we go up and then we have some steep ( in parts) descents. ** There's one small portion where I have to push! It takes me under 3 minutes- you may be able to ride it! :)

We'll be cycling from the foreshore carpark along a fairly quiet road and then along the new cycle path which runs alongside the A55- so though we have traffic noise we have no traffic other than possible agricultural or other bikes. Almost all the rest is country lanes- which may have leaves and twigs, moss and potholes- though the weather forecast so far does not forecast any high winds to bring down branches- route was clear Wednesday 30/10.

I'm not planning any stops other than to enjoy views , or catch-up, catch breath and re group. I do however suggest bringing cash for optional cafe visit at the end of the ride!

Please ensure that your bike is winter ready, with good tyres and breaks, that you have warm layers and a drink for yourself as well as spares and tool kit in case you have a puncture.

We never leave anyone behind
