Dunstable to Markyate

This ride takes us through beautiful quiet lanes to Markyate.  We start at Pedalworks Bike shop in Dunstable and ride over Dunstable Downs towards Whipsnade and Studham Common before heading towards Gaddesden Row.  A left turn takes us through leafy lanes to Markyate where we can stop for tea at the local cafe. After refreshments we cycle towards Kensworth, a long but steady incline before cycling home from Whipsnade across Dunstable Downs to the Travel Hub. This is a 17 mile ride and is suitable for all riders. Newcomers are always welcome. We always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. The route is all road or tarmac paths suitable for all types of bicycles.  It's a good idea to bring some water and you may also want to bring a snack.  Dress appropriately for the weather and please bring a puncture repair kit. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.
