About the route
Our meeting place for this ride on Saturday 25th January 2014 is the car park at Active Luton, Wigmore Hall, Wigmore Place, Luton, LU2 9JB (just off Eaton Green Road, behind Luton Airport).
As soon as we leave the car park we are in the countryside, heading out towards towards Tea Green and down the hill Lilley Bottom. From here we ride through quiet lanes until we reach the village of Whitwell, noted for its cress beds. Here we
stop for refreshments at Emily's Tea Shop, which as well as a cafe has a few small businesses to explore including a little bike shop! After refreshments we head back towards Bendish and on through more lanes until we reach the airport,
underneath the flighpath of landing planes, back towards home.
This is a 10 mile ride and is suitable for all riders. Newcomers are always welcome. We always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. The route is all road so suitable for all types of bicycles. It's a good idea to bring some water and you may also want to bring a snack. Dress appropriately for the weather and
please bring a puncture repair kit.
Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part. If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.
