AL5 3EY

This is a longer ride than the ones I have been posting recently, but will just be further rather than faster, and we will aim for a steady 8-10mph. We will be going up to Dunstable Downs via Markyate and Kensworth, and the ascent is so gradual you will hardly notice it ;) Your reward is sustenance/ coffee/ lunch at the Visitors’ Centre whilst drinking in the stunning view. We will probably be back around 2/2.30pm.
The weather looks a little unsettled, so keep an eye on emails nearer the time for updates.

A ride with a view!

The route is a mix of country lanes and slightly busier B roads.

Please make sure your bike is in good working order with tyres pumped, and it is a good idea to bring a spare inner tube that fits your tyres. Helmets are a requirement, and bring plenty of water, and money for coffee if required.

We never leave anyone behind
