Fradley Edingale Ride

The ride takes us from Fradley Junction through the Staffordshire and South Derbyshire countryside to Edingale and then on to Whittington where if necessary we will stop for refreshments at the Main St Cafe before returning to Fradley Junction. The route inevitably follows some short sections of main road but we will mostly be on quiet back lanes and country roads. There are hills but they are not to demanding and we will ride at a realistic pace and take time to get our breath back.

This route is a shorter 18 mile (30km) ride for those who may be wanting to start or get back into cycling but need help with the confidence and motivation to achieve this. The ride is to assist with being confident with riding with other people or groups and feeling safe whilst riding on roads.

If necessary we will stop for refreshments at the Main St Cafe in Whittington before returning to Fradley Junction, but will stop to take on water/drinks on route if required.

Helmets should be worn. Money for parking, refreshments, water and some type of food such as flapjacks, cereal or energy bars should be carried in case there are issues or delays at the scheduled stops as Cafes tend to get very busy these days. According to the guidelines issued by British Cycling riders must be self-sufficient, bringing tools, a puncture repair kit, and a spare innertube so punctures can be repaired.

We never leave anyone behind
