Loops of the Common

We'll start by making sure all our bikes are in good working order and discuss the route. First we'll cycle accross the middle of the Common, on the flats. The route from there will depend on what the group want to do and at what pace but we'll probably make a loop up to the top of the Common and back down again to Bellemoor Triangle. That's about 1.5 miles. Having tested the route, we'll have a short break and repeat the loop. The route and duration of this ride will be adapted to suit the group.

The Common is a great place to enjoy cycling. We will cycle at an easy slow pace, stopping regularly. This ride is ideal for new riders who want to gain confidence in their skills or those who haven't cycled for a long time and want to practice without pressure. .

We will stay on the tarmac paths on the Common. If you know the Common it is mainly flat with a few gentle hills where we can practice using our gears.

Please dress comfortably for cycling in the summer weather and wear a cycle helmet. You may wish to bring some water to drink if it's a hot day.
