Breeze charnwood circular

Starting in Birstall, the ride will head out through the village of Thurcaston and into the Charnwood hills. We will pass through Anstey before the first climb up and over into Newtown Linford. After cycling past Bradgate park, the ride will turn off and begin the climb up Polly Botts lane. This is a long climb which is steep at points. We will then weave through the Leicestershire countryside to the bottom of Warren Hill. A steep climb up will bring the ride to the back of Old John before a long descent back down into Newtown Linford. This time round, there will be a stop at one of the numerous tea shops before heading back via the same route to Birstall. Whilst this route is not long, there are 3 challenging climbs as part of the route. Helmets are not compulsory but are advisable. Please bring a spare inner tube as this saves trying to repair a puncture ate the side of the road. Also bring plenty of drink, food and some money for the stop at the tea shop.
