This is a Ladies Only Road Bike Ride, at probs 11/13 mph. No one will get dropped, I will always stay at the back. This is a ride to Wistow for coffee & cake (or scones) returning via Foston. I have put 30 mins for coffee, the timings are approximate and could vary depending on traffic and weather conditions.

I have tried to select as many quiet lanes as possible however, there is one busy road section between Kilby & Foston than can be quite busy. Once we are off the Kilby to Foston Road, we will be back on quiet lanes. I would not describe this route as flat, however, there are no big climbs, more undulations.

We will stop at the Cafe in Wistow for coffee/tea and or cake (they do nice scones) we will also have a water stop at the Church in Foston if people would like to. I have allowed 30 mins for the stop at Wistow.

Ladies only, Road Bike Ride at approx 11/13 mph. No under 16’s. Helmets are essential, no helmet no ride. Clothing appropriate for the weather. Spare inner tube, tyre levers and a road worthy bike required. Water & money for Tea or Coffee. We have a no drop policy.
