A View from the Ridge - On and Off Road

A steady ride north of High Barnet to the village of Ridge, mostly along quiet country lanes. There is a bridleway en route, weather permitting, which is suitable for all bikes except road bikes with skinny tyres. This ride is for women who have done some beginner rides in the area and would like to venture further afield with a little more exertion. The countryside here is undulating – there are some hills but we will take it steady with no one left behind. Walk if you need. You'll be rewarded with lovely views and an ice-cream farm stop on the way back!

The route is mostly quiet country roads with one bridleway, and a step-free bridge crossing the A1. Be mindful of potholes on some roads.

There will be a stop at Lewis of London ice-cream farm on the way back.

Do check your brakes and gears work and the tyres have sufficient pressure. Bring water, cash for the ice-cream farm, a bike lock and 2x spare inner tubes in case of punctures. Also a light jacket/layers now it's cooler.
