Starting point




Northamptonshire
NN7 4JB

Starting at Great Brington we will head west to Long Buckby (via the metal bench), then onto West Haddon, Cold Ashby and Thornby (see map for detailed route) . Please bring some money for a refreshments stop at the cafe at Thornby Hall.
The estimated ride duration is based on a steady pace of around 12 mph, but we will always try to adapt to riders in the group, so that nobody gets left behind . Depending on rider numbers on the day, we may split the group into two smaller ‘sub-groups’ to make it easier, more enjoyable and safer to do the route. We also try to be considerate towards other road users and will stop or pull over if holding up traffic too much.
The route contains several hilly sections, so please consider if you can cycle at this pace over this distance before signing up ( a fairly good level of ‘bike fitness’ is required on this one ). Please arrive at the starting point 10-15 minutes before the departure time, so that the group is not being held up and we can make a prompt start.

Anyone leaving the planned route earlier, or perhaps wanting to shoot off home at a faster pace in the latter stages of the ride, please just let the leader or someone else in the group know.
Any questions, please message me via LetsRide or on 07886 860468 on the day. See you there – Paul
