Saddington Reservoir

Setting off from Great Bowden we take the lanes past Foxton locks and then into Gumley. We then ride downhill past Saddington reservoir which was built to supply the locks with water. We return back to Bowden via Mosley.

There are a couple of hills on this route, but don't let that put you off! We' ride alongside the reservoir for a bit which is lovely and there's a lovely long, gentle downhill ride most of the way home.

we ride on quiet country lanes with little traffic

We'll stop for breathers along the way and there's also the opportunity to enjoy a café stop together at the end of the ride.

You must wear a helmet on this ride and its a good idea to bring a water bottle and a spare inner tube.

New and returning riders are particularly welcome.
