Cheddar & Axbridge Reservoir

We’ll meet outside the bike shop. Please bring along a road-worthy bicycle, along with a helmet if you have one plus a drink if you can carry it. If you don't have your own bike, Cheddar Cycle Store also do bike hire if you book in advance.

Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one.  After a brief introduction, bike check and warm up in the quiet industrial estate, we will head off up the Strawberry Line.  The route is approximately 5 miles long and we have planned this as a lovely ride at a fairly slow, leisurely pace, perfect for beginners, at approximately 5-6 miles per hour (depending on the ability of the group).  The route is mainly flat and traffic free.   The route planned takes us along the Strawberry Line path to Axbridge where we go around the reservoir before returning back to the bike shop along the Strawberry Line.  

We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. This is the first of many bikes rides we are planning in this area.  We hope other women will join us for some fun, free, bike rides in this beautiful part of the countryside.

Look forward to seeing you there!
