Starting from Amersham, we will cycle over to Beaconsfield to look at some of the scarecrows on the scarecrow trail in Holtspur. There are will be lots to look at and we can vote for our favourite one whilst we stop for coffee.
We will stop for coffee in Holtspur before coming back to Amersham. There are a few hills on this ride but we always wait and no-one gets left behind. It is a very pretty route so come and join us on an afternoon out.
This route is designed for anyone looking to cycle a little further while taking on the challenge of a few ups and downs while you're there. The route is mainly on quieter country lanes, so if you are looking to build your confidence and travel further then this is the route for you.
We will cycle at the pace of the slowest rider, we will always wait and let the group catch up and of course wait at the top of hills. The aim is to have a go at the hills but if you want/need to walk any of them that's fine to. We will be stopping half way round for tea and cake.
Please remember to bring with you
- Helmet
-Spare inner tubes for your bike and appropriate tools, even if you don't know how to change an inner tube there are other people in the group to help.
-A water bottle with a drink in, cycling can be thirsty work.
- Appropriate clothing for the weather.
You can contact the leader directly via the ‘Message Ride Creator’ tab in the ride posting on let’s ride unless you have their direct contact details already if you have any questions.
I would prefer it if you wore a cycle helmet.
Please have a good check over your bikes to make sure they are road worthy. Below is a handy video for completing the 'M Check' before a ride.
