Big Breeze Bike Ride - Lake to Cake Tour

A picturesque ride that starts at Furzton Lake & goes to Jennie Wren's Tea Rooms on the Market Square in Winslow, then returns by the same route. Just over 9 miles each way, 18.5 miles in total. Predominantly traffic free with a few short country road sections to join up the off road. Starts on quiet redways that run beside the lake on paved & gravel paths crossing a few wooden bridges. Through Bletchley we leave the redways to join a secluded farm track road, a little muddy if it's been raining! Great views over the countryside, crossing a few roads to emerge in Winslow town centre. Some very gentle climbs on the way out, but this means the way back is slightly quicker! Most bikes are suitable, except road bikes with skinny tyres. You don't have to be an experienced rider to join us, but be able to keep up a leisurely continuous pace & we can always stop if needed to take in the views. There are a few farm gates where we'll need to stop anyway. If you bring children they need to be able to keep up a good pace for this distance. A lovely ride with great views over a good distance to deserve a cake stop! Approximately 1 hour 15 on the way out, 1 hour on the return, with time for stopping inbetween. Facilities available at Premier Inn on Furzton Lake & at Jennie Wren's Tea Rooms.
