Aston Cantlow and Shakespeare Coffee stop

This is an easy paced ride, on a combination of pretty canal towpath and lanes. The ride will follow the canal path out of town and then lanes to Billesley, Aston Cantlow, and then the cafe at Mary Ardens House (yes, that's the Shakespeare connection). From the cafe, we are not far from the start and the return route is downhill via the towpath. It must be said that the route is not flat, but there is only one proper hill (perfectly acceptable to walk). And once you've conquered that hill, it's flat or downhill to coffee. Any questions, please call or text Caroline on 07948 398 354. The main requirement is a bicycle in good working order (e.g., good brakes, tyres pumped up, chained oiled if need be). A helmet is advised, but not compulsory. A water bottle is a good idea. It's also good to carry a spare inner tube to fit your tyre, but the leader carries a few spares. If you have signed up, but find you have to cancel, no problem, but please call or text Caroline.
