NN5 4EN

Approximately 20 -25 miles. Route to head out through Rothersthorpe, Blisworth, and Roade. Returning along the new tarmacced cycleway , and then on road through Collingtree and Milton Malsor .It will be a relaxed, sociable pace. Coffee stop at the cafe in Salcey Forest (or perhaps earlier in Roade, depending on the weather and how folk are feeling)
The estimated ride duration is based on a steady/social pace of around 11-12 mph, but we will always try to adapt to riders in the group, so that nobody gets left behind .
The route will contains several hilly sections, so please consider if you can cycle at this pace over this distance before signing up ( a reasonable level of ‘bike fitness’ is required). Please arrive at the starting point 5-10 minutes before the departure time, so that we can set off at 1215.

Anyone leaving the planned route earlier, or perhaps wanting to shoot off home at a faster pace in the latter stages of the ride, please just let the leader or someone else in the group know.
Any questions, please message me via LetsRide or on 07886 860468 on the day. See you there – Paul
