CB21 4HS


This is an undulating route heading northwards from Linton towards the pretty villages of Swaffham Bulbeck and Swaffham Prior. We then turn back skirting Newmarket, taking the backroads home through Stetchworth, Brinkley and Carlton Green.

The ride will be mainly on quiet lanes and through villages, with a short section through part of Newmarket. There are a few moderate hills towards the start and end of the ride, with a flatter part in the middle (total elevation 1900 feet).

We'll stop halfway round at the very nice Victor Victoria cafe, down a walkway just off Newmarket High Street, which has outside tables and space for bikes.

Helmets essential. Please bring clothes appropriate to the weather, lights if possible, water, snacks, payment for refreshments, and a spare inner tube (or tubeless equipment).

All are welcome! Please check you are confident with the distance and have a roadworthy bike. Feel free to contact the ride organiser with any questions (Frances 07768045112), and check on 'Let's ride' for any changes/cancellations. *Please make sure that the organiser (or someone else in the group) has your contact details*, in case of issues.
