This will be just under 17 miles, riding out of Harlow via residential roads and then on quieter country roads. We will head out along Harlow Common and then head towards Hastingwood, and Bobbingworth before heading back in via Moreton and Threshers Bush. The roads should be pretty quiet so it would be a great way to build up your night road confidence and possibly increase your mileage. There should still be some light for return but some sort of back if not also front light is always a good idea.

There is no set stop planned for this ride but please feel free to bring a quick snack bar as we can stop for people to take a breather whenever needed. Please ensure you also have a drink with you and at least one inner tube that fits your bike. I will be carrying a pump etc so don't worry if you don't have one.

You do not need to be fast for this ride but you do need to be fit of sorts and be happy to sit on a saddle for at least hour and half. We will be riding to the slowest to ensure we are stay together.

Please try to wear something bright so you can be seen on the road or ensure you have a back light minimum.

This is a 17 mile loop out of Harlow and onto quiet Country road. A good way to gain confidence on the roads and cycling into the night.

We will be heading out of Harlow via residential roads and along Harlow common onto some quieter country roads. We will turn and head back home at Moreton and return in a similar fashion.

This is a no stop ride however there will be opportunity to stop for a drink if needed or a breather.

Helmets are recommended and GOOD lights will be required for the return when will be dusk. Hopefully we will not be in the dark for much of the ride unless we suffer punctures. Please ensure your bike is in good order and that tyres are pumped up and brakes work. If you could ensure that you are carrying a spare inner tube suitable for your bike, I will have tools and a pump if you do not have these. Try to wear something Bright and dress warmly. If you wish to borrow a Hi Viz please msg me.

First-timers welcome!
