This will be a hilly route leaving from the Hub, heading up Gaddesden Row, on to Ashridge, before we go down Ivinghoe Beacon to the cafe. We return the say way to Ashridge, before heading off an alternative route back to Redbourn. This is likely to be a faster ride, aiming for about 11-13 mph, something to stretch our legs a little and have fun. This is a ride for those blue ladies who have been wondering about a purple. The length is blue, but the speed may be more purply :) and then there are hills ..... I like hills .....

We will be mainly on lanes and quieter roads, although there are a couple of busier roads we use. One is only for about 100 m, the other is a bit longer, but we will pod and ride sensibly. There may be some gravel on the roads. Undoubtably there will be potholes! And there will be a few road humps too.

We will be stopping at a lovely cafe just over half way along the route. If the sun is still with us we can even sit in the courtyard!

Remember to wear your helmet - I won't take riders out without one. Remember to bring spare inner tubes and pump, along with appropriate clothing, lights, money and water. As we are going into autumn with the low sun, please do have your lights with you, and put them on. Also, please wear something reflective and / or bright, so drivers have a good chance of seeing you. This is especially important in dappled riding on a few of the lanes.

If you haven't ridden with me before, please message me. This ride is for experienced riders only. Thank you :)
