Old Gorhambury House

This is a steady ride of approximately 9.5 miles, which would suit those who would like a bit more distance but still at a slower pace of 7-9 mph approx’. Taking in undulating countryside mainly on quieter country lanes, with one short section on a faster 50 mph road. There will be a few hills where we will of course wait at the top for the group to catch up. As leaders we will ensure that no one is left behind, so that all the group can have an enjoyable ride.
We will spend a short while at the ruin of ‘Old Gorhambury House’ for everyone to look around. We are planning a refreshment stop half- way round at a pop-up café on the Gorhambury estate. There are currently no toilet facilities here or anywhere on our route.

In view of the COVID 19 guidelines. Please note the following:
• We will not share any equipment so please be organised and bring your own items eg drink, spare inner tube, tyre levers and pump, sun cream and hand sanitiser.
• You should pay particular attention to your bike being in good working order before attending a ride so as to minimise risks and disruption to rides. We will do a bike check before leaving but will check our own bikes.

All of the above is to keep us all safe from the virus.
