Aston Cantlow and Shakespeare Coffee stop

This is an easy paced ride, on a combination of lanes and pretty canal towpath. The ride will follow the Ridegway out of town, and then lanes to Billesley, Aston Cantlow, and the cafe at Mary Ardens House (the Shakespeare connection). From the cafe we are not far from the start and the return route is downhill via the towpath. The route is not flat, but there is only one challenging hill, and please remember that it is perfectly acceptable to walk it! Any questions, please call or text Caroline on 07948 398 354. The main requirement is a bicycle in good working order (i.e., good brakes, tyres pumped up, chain oiled if need be). A helmet is advised, but not compulsory. A water bottle is a good idea. A spare inner tube to fit your tyres is always a good thing to carry, but the leader carries a few spares.
