This is not one of our usual Monday rides but a challenging ride of approximately 45 miles. It is therefore only suitable for stronger cyclists. We will be cycling towards Dorridge and then out to Beausdale and Kenilworth (where we will stop for coffee) and then on to Burton Green, Balsall Common and Berkswell before coming back through Knowle. Mostly we will be on quiet country lanes but there is a short stretch on a busy road. There are no major hills, just one long road that is a bit of a drag. We will be aiming to cycle at a good pace of 11-12 mph, again aiming at stronger cyclists. Road or Hybrid bikes are therefore essential. Please bring a spare inner tube and don't forget money for the coffee stop. I look forward to seeing you. If you need any more information or have any questions then please text me and I'll give you a call. Julie 0796 4044889
