Spring in the Saddle round Idlicote Hill

Spring in the Saddle round Idlicote Hill. After a break with no Breeze ride last month, May’s ride gets us gently into gear again. A fairly short and level ride takes us along well surfaced and lightly trafficked roads to enjoy the Spring countryside scenery. This ride is not ambitious and is very suitable for beginners and returners to cycling. There are a couple of uphill pulls to make our hearts work just that little bit harder, and the home straight is usually against a wind. The downhills are gloriously easygoing and long enough to really enjoy the views. We’ll take our coffee stop at the end in Shipston, so remember to bring a bit of cash. At present the weather forecast for next Saturday is not too good, but a week gives it time to change! Watch the forecast and come prepared. Give your bike a quick health check before you come – ABC = Air (in tyres), Brakes, Control (Steering and chain). A properly fitting helmet is advised but is not compulsory. Get in touch if you have any queries – 01608 661288 or 07762 358466. I look forward to seeing you on Saturday morning. Jacey Jackson.
