Hemel Hempstead Mellow Yellows

***Change of start point this week we will meet at Brownlows cafe by the Ashridge Monument***, this novice ride will start along off road paths through the woods (depending on the weather and ground conditions) and quiet country lanes to build confidence and fitness before incorporating some gentle hills. All routes will have a fab coffee/cake stop for a good old breeze gossip before returning home. Come and join this friendly but dedicated group of ladies for a sociable fun Friday morning ride. We will move the start point each week to enable us to try new routes and new cafe stops. Mellow Yellows will be a beginners ride (10 -15 miles) at a gentle pace of 7-8mph. We will alternate one week flat traffic free along the canal in either direction, then following week quiet lanes with a few hills. Graceful Greens rides will average between 15 -20 miles at a gentle pace of 8-10mph with a few hills and flat stretches. Blazing Blues rides will average between 20-25 miles at steady pace between 9-11mph Pacey Purples evening rides will average 12-15 miles at a faster pace of 10-12mph Roaring Reds will average between 25-35 miles at a faster pace around 12-15mph We ride at the pace of the slowest rider and always wait at the top of hills so no one gets left behind. We usually stop for coffee halfway or at the end depending on the route, so come and join us for a monthly get together. Please remember to check your bike is in good working order, gears and brakes all working, and tyres pumped up. Don't forget to bring a spare inner tube and tools to fix a puncture should you be unlucky enough to get one. Don't worry there's enough of us to help you out should you be the unfortunate one. My rides are weather dependent, if I feel it's raining too hard, too cold/miserable/icy/snowy/windy etc then I will cancel, for your safety as well as enjoyment of the ride. If you want to cancel for any reason, please call or text me on 07538797197 Many thanks Liz :)
