Leafy Leicestershire

After leaving Bowden we'll cycle past the locks at Foxton and before tackling the hill into Gumley - it's the steepest on the route and we may need to walk it! We head on through Smeeton Westerby into Kibworth and turn down the lane that takes us to Tur Langton.
After refreshments, we ride on to Cranoe and Slawston before heading home via Welham after enjoying a lovely cruise down Slawston hill.

A tour of the the Leicestershire countryside and villages and we turn towards Autumn.

We ride of country lanes with little traffic.

We'll stop for breathers and drinks along the way and are quite likely to stop for refreshments at Mint and Ginger cafe in Tun Langton

You must wear a helmet on this ride. It's also a good idea to bring water, a rain jacket and a spare inner tube just in case!

We ride at a gentle pace, chatting as we go. Although there are some hills on this route, they aren't that steep and nobody minds if we get off and walk. We never leave anyone behind, New and returning riders are particularly welcome.
