SPOKES SW Herts Social Ride - Stockwood Park

Join me for a ride out from Dacorum to Stockwood Park (near Luton) for refreshment and return.

Make sure you bring a sturdy lock as bikes are not allowed inside the visitor centre.

Not suitable for road bikes with skinny tyres. Best suited to hybrids, MTB or gravel bikes.

Circular link - out using the Nicky Line and Upper Lea Valley Way (both amazing traffic free paths). A couple of miles on road before we enter Stockwood Park, where there is a cafe, plenty of outdoor space, a small exhibition and toilets.

We make our way back through Slip End, Markyate and Gaddesden Row on road, a few ups and downs through in. !

This socially distanced ride is limited to pre-booked (via Lets Ride) SPOKES Members only, due to the limit on numbers. It is a medium pace ride (9-11mph average) organised by SPOKES SW Herts Cycling Group.

If you are not a SPOKES Member and still wish to join our rides, some of which are restricted to Members only, during this period of restriction, please join us for the modest subscription of £12 pa (£3 for subsequent family members in the same household). You'll find details at http://www.spokesgroup.org.uk/about/. On the same website, you will also find our calendar of planned rides.

Covid Guidance must be followed at all times, refreshment breaks will be outdoor, socially distanced in groups no larger than 6 and are dependent upon weather and café availability. Bring spare inner tube, pump and essential tools, hand sanitizer, drinks and refreshment. All that you need so you are self-sufficient in repairing your bike, punctures etc. and do not need close distance contact or to share with the rest of the group. Use of a face covering is optional.

Locks required for café stop as we need to use rack outside the Visitor Centre.

Includes Nickey Line and Upper Lea Valley so best suited to Hybrid, MTB or Gravel bikes.
