Breeze quiet road ride 17mile

This will be just under 17 miles, riding out of Harlow via residential roads and then on quieter country roads. We will head out along Harlow Common and then head towards Hastingwood, and Bobbingworth before heading back in via Moreton and Threshers Bush. The roads should be pretty quiet so it would be a great way to build up your night road confidence and possibly increase your mileage. It will be dark for a good part of the ride and out where no lights at all, you will therefore need a good set of lights, not just to be seen but so you can see the road.

There is no set stop planned for this ride but please feel free to bring a quick snack bar as we can stop for people to take a breather whenever needed. Please ensure you also have a drink with you and at least one inner tube that fits your bike. I will be carrying a pump etc so don't worry if you don't have one.

You do not need to be fast for this ride but you do need to be fit of sorts and be happy to sit on a saddle for at least hour and half. (Remember if you are on a MTB you will naturally be slower than someone on a road bike but for this ride it doesn't matter as we will ride to slowest.)

Please try to wear something bright so you can be seen on the road and if you don't have anything let me know as I have some hi vis vests you could borrow if at all worried. Your confidence will be better if you know you can be seen :-)
