We will aim for about 12 mph over the whole ride. Heading out towards Codicote, St Paul's Walden, Preston and back via Whitwell, the route this time with take in lots of our lovely quiet lanes. The plan is to stop at the end at Loafing for a chat and cuppa.
This ride will suit a Blue/Red rider. Gravel and hybrids with bigger tyres very welcome if you are a strong rider.
There will be hills, but we do these at our own pace and always regroup at the top.
Start: Outside Loafing (The Bakery) in Wheathampstead at 9.30 am
Please check your emails/texts before setting off, in case of cancellation.

- have 2 spare inner tubes, tyre levers and correct pump
- Money for coffee/emergencies. - - Helmet (compulsory on ride)
- Water and a snack, just in case
- Appropriate bright and warm clothing (Rain/Sun – hopefully the latter)
