Beginners Breeze Ride

This is a lovely route of about 9 miles. We head out of Harpenden across the common and loop round Childwickbury and Batchwood. It’s pretty, peaceful and there are very few cars.

This is mainly on cycle paths and bridleways so very little road and is a fairly flat route. This makes it a perfect route if you feel a little nervous about riding your bike on roads the first time .

Most of the route is traffic free and is suitable for hybrid and mountain bikes .

We will have plenty of little rest stops to allow you to have a drink, chatter and get just pause for a few moments. At the end we will stop for coffee at Rothamstead Cafe.

Please wear a helmet and suitable footwear like trainers. Please bring water, a spare inner tube and if you have one a bicycle pump. Money / card for refreshments or emergency.

We especially welcome newbies!
