We ride for around 2 miles on quiet urban roads then onto quiet rolling country lanes.

We will be stopping to refuel at Wedges Bakery and Cafe after 18 miles and again shortly after for a photo opportunity between the two Earlswood Lakes

We would urge all riders to wear a helmet. A bit of cash or a bank card is advised if you want something at the café stop and an inner tube matching the size of your wheel is advised in case of puncture. We have pumps and tools but not necessarily all size of inner tubes.

We especially welcome newbies!
