Winter Warmer - Kingston Maurward and back

Using a mix of quiet roads and cycle paths to build confidence, we will ride out to Max Gate, former home of Thomas Hardy. From there, it's into the countryside which inspired Hardy for a few miles until we reach Kingston Maurward where we will stop for refreshments. From there it's a loop around the grounds before retracing our route back.
This is an ideal ride for those who perhaps haven't been on a bike in a while or want to regain their confidence as there's a bit of everything - cycle paths, quiet roads, gentle inclines and country lanes. Pace will be as best suits the group, no-one will be left behind.
Please do wear a helmet, bring a spare inner tube for your bike (any bike shop can help you with this), a drink for the ride and card/cash for the refreshment stop.
Here's looking forward to seeing you, Carole :)
