As a ride leader WC have provided me with Covid specific training so this ride complies with the current regulations and we can keep everyone safe. I am responsible for carrying out a Covid Risk Assessment for this ride and to take reasonable measures to minimise exposure to, and the spread of, coronavirus based on that risk assessment

28 mile of steady road cycling without big climbs - a rare thing in North Wales. From Newborough forest out through Llangaffo, Paradwys, Malltraeth, Aberffraw and back through Soar and Trefdraeth. We will be on A roads for about one third of the ride, with B roads and country lanes making up the rest.

We will be on A roads for about one third of the ride, with B roads and country lanes making up the rest.

We will have a coffee stop in Aberffraw.

Helmets must be worn. Clothing should be appropriate for the likely weather conditions. Bring drinks and snacks just in case you need a boost. Lights are always a good idea even in daylight.

If you are used to shorter rides on cycle paths, this may be a great opportunity to try a slightly longer ride without having to worry about big hills. Although we will be doing about a third of the ride on A roads, we will take it steadily and the 3 A road sections, ranging from 1.5 miles to 3.75 miles, are spread out through the ride.
