Green Welly

This route is suitable for Green riders. We will ride at a pace of 8-10mph, with plenty of stops to hydrate/ catch up. There are a few hills, but we will take them at a steady pace and you are welcome to walk (there is always plenty of chatter to keep those at the top occupied :) )

A beautiful route to Old Welwyn

Mostly quiet lanes with a few stretches of quiet B roads

We will stop for coffee and cake at The Welly (The Wellington Pub) in Old Welwyn to fortify ourselves for Lord Mead Lane on our return journey. (You are welcome to walk it!)

Although legal covid restrictions are no longer in place, we would be grateful if you are mindful of the current infection rates and maintain distancing as appropriate. Please ensure your bike is in good working order, as whilst we will support you with any mechanical issues or punctures within the limit of our expertise, we are not trained mechanics. You will need to bring 2 spare inner tubes and any equipment you would need to change them (pump; tyre levers) and ensure that you have a contact number for someone (or taxi) who can pick you up if you have a mechanical problem that you are unable to deal with. We won’t abandon you and will make sure you can get home safely. Helmets are compulsory on this ride and we also ask that you carry a mask (you do not need to wear it whilst cycling but may need it for the coffee stop or if you require first aid assistance). Please also bring money/card for coffee and of course water. Apologies for this long list of rules, but it is really important to us to keep both riders and leaders safe and once the logistics are out of the way we can get on and enjoy the ride in the knowledge that we are doing it as safely as we possibly can!

We never leave anyone behind
