Greens Weekday Wander to Woodyard

This ride will be a slowish paced Green ride at 8-9 mph and you are welcome to take the hills at your own pace (I will be!), so it will be suitable for all Green riders.

This is an undulating route but with beautiful vistas to take your mind off the hills :-) We will meander out to Lilley Bottom via Kimpton and Bendish,then return towards our coffee stop via Breachwood Green

Mostly quiet country lanes with a few sections of busier B roads.

Our coffee stop with be at the Woodyard cafe on the Luton Hoo estate towards the end of our ride (@ 15 miles), but we will stop for a drink before that and you are welcome to bring a snack to keep you going.

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
