Mint & Ginger for coffee

We meet at the Green in Bitteswell, head off down Ashby Lane towards Ashby and turn right down Cauldwell Lane towards Gilmorton. We take Mill Lane to Bruntingthorpe, turn left and head towards Arnesby, we take a right then left turn and head to Saddington, Smeetong Westerby, Kibworth, we meet up with the A6 and use the bike path until we turn left towards the Langtons. We go through West Langton, Church Langton and take a left turn towards Tur Langton, where we stop for coffee. After coffee and perhaps some cake? we head back to Kibworth, we meet up with the A6 and cycle along this road for approx 300 metres (it can be busy) we turn left towards Wistow and follow this road all the way until it meets with the A5199, we turn left and first right towards Foston (this section of road is likely to be busy). Once in Foston, we are back on quiet lanes. We go to Peatling Magna, Gilmorton and take Boneham's lane back to Lutterworth and Bitteswell.

We are riding through a number of Leicestershire Villages for coffee (& cake??) at Tur Langton. Whilst this route isn't flat, I have tried to avoid any significant climbs.

As much as possible I've kept it to quiet Lanes there are a couple of busy sections where we need to be careful. From Kibworth to the turning to the Langton's we will stick to the cycle path along the A6. On the way back we are on the A6 for approx 300 metres, the section of road from Kilby to Foston can be busy.

We will stop in Tur Langton at Mint and Ginger for Cofffee & Cake perhaps.
