Graceful Green 18 Miler to Spokes

If you are gaining confidence with your riding and ready to go a bit further and a bit faster this could be the ride for you. You may have recently been on a Mellow Yellow ride and feel ready to add a little more pace and a little more distance to your rides, or you may have been on Graceful Green rides before. This is an 18 mile ride starting at the bottom of Westfield Road (Harpenden) and heading East via Kimpton to Codicote and back via Ayot St.Lawrence. There some hills along the way (hard to avoid) but walking is always an option and we always regroup at the top.

Our route is mainly on country lanes and B roads with some short sections on slightly busier roads through the villages.

We will stop half way round at Spokes Cycle Cafe just outside Codicote. Their toasties are the best for miles around!

Please make sure your tyres are pumped up before you come, you can check the pressure on the side wall of the tyre but if in doubt pop into your local bike shop who will be happy to help and pump them up for you. It's also good practice to bring one or two spare inner tubes, tyre levers and a pump. Always useful to have some water and snacks with you too. Also, you must wear a helmet to ride with us.

First-timers welcome!
