We will be heading out to Redbourn via Luton Lane, then onto Flamstead and finally Markyate for our coffee stop. Then we will head back up Chad Lane and return to our starting point.

This is an straightforward ride with some hills (of course!) and would be suitable for any non beginner rider wishing to try out a Breeze ride, or anyone familiar with the Breeze experience. We will be cycling at a speed of 8-10mph, but will always wait for any slower rider and hills can be walked if needed

We will be cycling mainly on quiet country lanes, although there will be a couple of busier roads to cross. Please note that there are currently a lot of potholes and gravel on the lanes, so you will need to be particularly careful on a road bike.

Our coffee stop will be just over half way round, at the lovely Nook cafe in Markyate.

Please make sure you bring water and money for the cafe if you wish to purchase coffee. You are advised to bring a spare inner tube and equipment to change it in the event of a puncture, or have someone available who can come and collect you. We will do what we can but are not mechanics and so we are limited in what we can do. Waterproofs may be necessary as the weather is very changeable at the moment, but if it is forecast to be very wet we will cancel. Keep an eye on your emails on the morning of the ride.

First-timers welcome!
