The ride will start at Broompark and we will cycle along the cycle paths where we can harvest whatever might be on offer in the hedgerows and woodlands around the area. The route will be approximately 8 to 10 miles and will be decided nearer the time when we see what fruits of the earth are on offer!

The ride will end at Abundant Earth where we may be able to harvest more produce, followed by food and cake by the open fire and some skies permitting star gazing as well.

In order for the ride to leave promptly, please be punctual so we can carry out bike checks, etc. prior to us setting off. Expect to be out for at least 2 hours, longer with the fire and celebrations and until after dark so please bring lights.

Susan & Julia

This ride will celebrate not only our bountiful summer harvest, but also two of our fabulous Breeze Leaders (Julia and Jacki) late summer birthdays.

Mainly cycle paths and some quiet roads

There will be stops on route to look at local botany and harvest any fruits from hedgerows and woodland. Our main stop will be at the end at Abundant Earth for fire, food, stargazing and celebrations!

As always we can’t predict the weather so please dress suitably. You are better to be overdressed as you can always take layers off. Please also bring bike lights as it will be dark at the end of the ride.

We never leave anyone behind
