CHRISTMAS PARTY SOCIAL - a short ride then party at The Empress Pub

Bike paths and quieter roads wherever possible. Riders participate at their own risk. We take it steady, we encourage each other, and most of all we enjoy ourselves.

We know all of the bike paths and quieter country lanes to avoid traffic as much as possible. In the summer, with lighter evenings, we go a little further, or maybe enjoy a pub stop. The routes vary from week-to-week to keep things interesting and new. As a steady social group we always encourage and support each other. We choose cake over carbon, laughter over lycra and slo-mo over aero! All beginners are welcome - as long as you're able to ride according to the highway code, we'll figure the rest out together.

Mostly bike paths and quieter roads - as much as possible

There are regular pauses (usually to regain our breath at the top of a hill) Sometimes we stop at a pub for a hot or cold drink

Strong lights are advisable throughout winter. Please bring your helmet, some layers of clothing if cold, and a roadworthy bike.

First-timers welcome!
