Welwyn Garden Weekend Lanes

We will be cycling out to explore local villages near to Welwyn Garden City with a different route each week. Likely routes include Codicote, Whitwell, Nomansland, Datchworth, Tewin, Brickendon, Bayford, Ware - and other local villages. We will cycle circular routes taking us out from Welwyn Garden in the morning and back by lunchtime. We will ride mostly on country lanes. Some sections will be busier with daytime traffic, but we will stay close. There will be hills and where we separate, we will regroup at the top or at the bottom.
Riding into autumn / winter means the rides will be weather dependent. If there is stormy weather / wind / ice rides may be cancelled at short notice so please keep an eye on messages.

We will stop at a café either halfway through the ride or towards the end. Some of the places we will visit are Tewinbury Farm, West End Barns, Datchworth Coffee, Spokes, Emily’s Tea Shop, Farmers Boy, Smallford Farm Shop and Ware Priory

Helmets are compulsory. High visibility weather appropriate clothing must be worn - be safe, be seen. Cycling mitts are recommended for bumpy sections of roads with front and rear cycle lights if its dim. A full water bottle - keep hydrated - small snacks or energy gels / bars if needed. Spare inner tubes, levers, a pump and puncture repair kit are recommended if you have them. In case of any incidents, please have the telephone number of a friend or relative that is available to assist in your return journey home.

We never leave anyone behind
