Looking for a fun way to spend your Friday morning?

We are off to Whitwell where we will stop for a coffee/tea. We will head out via Wheathampstead, Codicote and St Paul’s Walden to Emily’s tea shop - a slightly more circuitous route than usual.

Our route will be a mix of quiet lanes and a few stretches of slightly busier roads. This ride is suitable for all bikes. There are some hills but don't worry, we always regroup at the top. We will take it steadily at about 10-12 mph.

Do also check your emails and text messages before leaving for last minute updates.

The important bits: Please ensure your bike is in good working order and you have an emergency backup/taxi number to call on in case of issues. Ride Related: - check your bike the night before (Tyre pressure will go down when your bike has not been used or from use!) - carry 2 spare inner tubes, tyre levers and correct pump - Money for coffee/emergencies. Helmet (compulsory on ride) - Water and a snack, just in case - Appropriate bright and warm clothing (Rain/Sun – hopefully the latter) - Lights (not essential but a plus in winter)

We never leave anyone behind
