BS25 1HD

The Woodborough Inn Sandford Road, Winscombe Somerset BS25 1HD

We will meet in the free car park behind The Woodborough Inn, in the heart of Winscombe village, starting with a brief introduction, bike check and warm up. This ride from Winscombe takes us 9 miles following the Strawberry Line to Axbridge and Cheddar Reservoir, through the 100m tunnel at Shute Shelf (bring lights if you want / but not essential). The Strawberry Line is a disused railway path consisting of a compact gravel surface. This ride is perfect for beginners and intermediates - with one short, steep climb out of Axbridge on the way home - some may need to push this section/no problem! This ride is ideal for anyone who doesn't want to go too far. We really welcome newcomers to our rides. We will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. It is a good idea to bring some water on the ride. You may also want to bring some money for the refreshments afterwards - we usually like to stop for coffee/cake/chat! We plan to ride at approximately 8-10 miles per hour taking us approx 60-90mins. Come and get some fresh air and meet some new friends by joining this fun, sociable bike ride for women. We look forward to seeing you there! Toilet facilities are available in the village before and after the ride. Wearing a helmet is advisable, though not essential. Please book online in advance. It makes our job easier on the day.
