Wheel Do It! - a really easy ride around Damflask (with Paul)

This ride is part of a series for people who are new to cycling or maybe haven't been out on a bike for a while. It is a great introduction to the friendly mixed Wheel Do It! group, which for the last year has been running rides designed to gradually encourage people to ride further and climb higher at a pace everyone is comfortable with. We'd love to have you join us! The route is flexible and will be adapted to suit the participants. We will set off from the beginning of Loxley Road and ride up the hill to the Admiral Rodney (if you prefer to avoid this hill you are welcome to start the ride there at about 10:15am). We'll then continue along Loxley Road to the junction at the near end of Damflask Reservoir. Depending on the group, we'll then either continue up the hill along the right hand side of Damflask or turn left along the flat road to the left. Either way, we will end up at the Flask End cafe in Low Bradfield for coffee and cake. The ride back from there is mostly flat or downhill. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS We recommend that you wear a helmet. Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather. As usual we do expect you to have ensured your bike is roadworthy and that you have carried out basic pre-ride checks; we recommend that you also carry at least one spare inner tube, a pump (CO2 inflators are also highly recommended). If you have a mechanical problem we will do our best to assist you and/or lend you an inner tube or repair kit if we can, but it is always best to be self-reliant. Don’t forget to bring money for refreshments and a mobile phone.
