Rutland Rendezvous

Join me for a leisurely pootle to Normanton Church and back, along the charming traffic free and only-slightly-undulating bike route at Rutland Water. This is gravel so hybrids and mountain bikes only please. We meet outside the shop at 9:15am and leave at 9:30am. We ride at the pace of the slowest rider so don't worry about being left behind.  After the ride it would be no surprise if we had a bit of tea and cake in the local cafe! If you do not have a bike then hire is available at the shop at the discounted price of just £5.  You will need clothes for the weather, some money to park and buy cake, water for on the ride and a big smile.  You may wish to bring a bike lock if you are leaving your bike whilst sipping tea. At this time of year it is best to wear layers, as you will feel the cold when we stop but warm up quickly when we start again. This ride replaces the usual Sunday ride, as I am going to my nephew's christening!
