We'll be riding a 7 mile route around the forest. Most of it is flat and easy to ride but some small sections are a little bumpy and uneven. This is nothing that can't be managed by using an easy gear and keeping the pedals turning.
There is also one small hill that some may need to walk. If you need to get off and walk on these small sections, that's perfectly acceptable so please don't let that put you off joining us. Even slow cyclists are lapping the folks lounging on their sofas.
In general, the route is non-technical so all bikes are suitable, although, if it's rained, the skinny tyres of a road bike may not be the best. There is no need to be super experienced or amazingly fast as the plan is to have a social ride at the speed of the slowest rider. We're out to have fun, cycle, chat and of course, eat cake.
We will meet at the forest cafe at 10am.
The ride is anticipated to take approx. 70 minutes, but allow up to 2 hours if you plan to join us at the café.
Don't forget to bring a spare innertube, snack bar, a warm layer and maybe a waterproof layer if the weather isn't so great. Money for the café stop is essential.
NOTE: We do sometimes take photos and video footage on the rides and these are generally shared in our Whatsapp group chat, Facebook and our Instagram page. If you don't want your photo taken/shared, please let us know at the start of the ride and we can then either turn off the video recording and/or ask you to step to one side when photos are being taken.
