Riding to Kilpeck

We start at Hereford Cycle Track for introductions and briefing. Making our way carefully through the leisure centre car park, we head to the cycle crossing to cross Holmer Road to the cycle lane taking us to Newtown Road where we use the cycle crossing to get to Widemarsh Common then onto the traffic free Great Western Way and pick up the National Cycle Route 46. Quiet back roads take us to the B4348 for a short ride before we turn at Kivernoll to pick up the route to Kilpeck.
The ride will gradually increase in distance and pace over the weeks.

This ride is for women who haven't ridden a bike for a while and want to build their confidence by slowly increasing distance and pace over a number of weeks. The ride starts at Hereford Cycle Track at Hereford Leisure Centre, using traffic free routes to connect to National Cycle Network route 46 with goal of reaching Kilpeck then returning by the same route, a total distance of 20 miles. Riding time will be between 1- 2 hours depending on what the group feels comfortable with.

The route starts with traffic free cycle/pedestrian routes leading to quiet back lanes and minor roads. Surfaces can be a little bumpy with uneven surfaces.

Kilpeck has a beautiful church which is famous for it's stone carvings which is worth stopping to see. There may be an opportunity for a drink or snack if the Kilpeck Inn is open.

Helmets required for this ride. There is only one potential drink/snack stop at Kilpeck, you may wish to bring cash or card.

The ride will be at a pace that all feel comfortable with, we never leave anyone behind.
