Its the shortest day so here is a short easy ride to the marvelous Helen Browning's Tea Rooms in Bishopstone. Very suitable for the steady beginner who is fond of cake or the experienced rider fancying a little fresh air and a gossip.

Its all on quiet country lanes with very light traffic.

We shall stop at Bishopstone before heading back via Compton Beauchamp

Don’t forget a full water bottle with your favourite thirst quencher. Please bring a face mask; you have to wear it on entering a café and in the event of first aid being required. For all our rides you should bring at least a spare inner tube and a pump. If your wheels are bolted on then a spanner that fits the nuts is also essential. Helmets are not compulsory but most definitely recommended. You should dress appropriately for the weather, and consider bringing your mobile phone along with cash or debit card for the coffee stop. Some café’s only take card payments

We never leave anyone behind
