Cake stop to Maxstoke and Astley

This is a steady paced ride perfect for intermediates, who are up for a challenge. It is not for new cyclists, as there are some steep climbs involved. Some sections of the ride will also be on a busy main roads, but most of the ride will be on narrow country lanes. Its a good idea to bring a drink, bike lock, clothing suitable for the weather conditions, and some money for the cake stop at Astley Book Farm. Wearing a helmet is advisable as we'll be riding on the road, but it's not essential. We really welcome newcomers to our ladies-only rides and we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. Although, on hills it's advisable to keep going at a pace that suits you and then we will all stop at the top to re-group. Please be aware that at this time of year weather conditions are unpredictable, so the ride may be cancelled at short notice if it is raining heavily, strong winds, etc. I will cancel the ride via text within an hour of the ride start time.
