This is the 20 mile morning ride than can be ridden on its own or joined up with the afternoon ride to make a 40 mile figure of 8 loop centred around the Works Canteen in Frome. There is an opportunity to have a cake/lunch break after the ride too at The Works Canteen : http://www.theworkscanteen.co.uk/ This ride is mainly on quiet country lanes from Frome, through Oldford, Lullington, Laverton, Norton St Philip, Tellisford, Rode, Rudge & Standerwick. These are really quiet, pretty, country lanes which means that we won’t see much traffic but there are a few potholes & gravel in places.  It is a perfect route for those of you wanting to try out a few gentle hills too. This ride is aimed at women who are already doing some cycling but would like to try a longer ride. It is suitable for all types of bikes with gears. The pace will be a steady 10 -12 mph but NO-ONE will be left behind. This ride is designed to be a social ride & is unsuitable for those wanting a fast ride with no stops. Please ensure that your bike is in a roadworthy condition & that you have a correct size, spare inner tube just in case of a puncture.  Please bring a drink, snack, mobile phone, some money and  a waterproof. A helmet is not compulsory but I would prefer it if you wore one please. If you wish to ride the complete figure of 8 loop,  please sign up for both Part 1 & Part 2 of the rides .
