Rothersthorpe - Upper Stowe Leisure Ride

Any questions, please message me via LetsRide. See you there – Jennie

A 22 mile relaxed ride starting from Rothersthorpe, via Tiffield, Bugbrooke, Weedon Bec, Upper Stowe, Bugbrooke (again), Kislingbury, and return.

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/82177990 HILLS This is very much a casual-paced ride and we will take a breather when we need to. However, this route does include a significant distance upward from Weedon Bec, so you should consider if your fitness and bike are up to the challenge. The intention is to have fun, and struggling physically may take the joy out of the ride. The estimated ride duration is based on a steady pace of around 12 – 13mph, but we will always try to adapt to riders in the group, so that nobody gets left behind. Because it's a short distance at a casual pace, we expect everyone to stay together as a group. (If you're feeling good it's easy to slow down, but impossible for someone at their limit to go any faster!) Please arrive at the starting point 10 minutes before the departure time, so we can make a prompt start. Depending on numbers we may split the group into two smaller sub-groups on the day, cycling about 5 minutes apart. This will make it easier, and safer, to stay in our groups , as well as being easier for other traffic. 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.

Stopping for refreshments at The Barn in Upper Stowe (mile 16).

Please bring a helmet, suitable clothing for the weather, something to drink, spares & cash/card for the stop.

We never leave anyone behind
