Thornwood to Bridget's Ware

We will leave the Rugby Club and head along Upland road , through Epping Upland and onto Roydon. At Roydon we will cross over the Railway and head up over A414 adn into Stansted Abbots. We will then follow the back road towards Ware and on to the Priory. The return will be similar but will include a big climb up of Stansted Abbots. The ride will include a few long drags but only the Stansted Abbots climb has any great gradient.

Not suitable for beginners due the the slightly busier roads and climb.

A road ride through Epping Upland into Roydon and continuing round back of Stansted Abbots to the Priory at Ware. These roads can be a little busy at Peak times so the aim is to be back by 5pm.

Most suitable for Road bikes and Hybrids with road tyres. The roads hopefully will not be too busy however can get busy in Peak Commuting times. I would suggest that you can ride a 12PMH average and to have ridden busier roads before for this ride. Sorry but no beginners although we will ride to slowest.

We will be stopping at Bridget's Tea room at the Priory for a quick Coffee and Cake so please bring a payment Card with you if possible. (Cash is accepted but card preferred.)

Helmets are essential for this ride given the roads we are on and please ensure that your bike is in good working order and that you are carrying an inner tube suitable for your bike as a minimum.

Newbies are Welcome but unfortunately this ride is not suitable for Beginners.
