This is a ride down the Old Railway Line, known as The Brampton Valley Way, a flat, traffic free cycle route starting and finishing at Market Harborough Sports Centre.

This is a traffic free route. This route is used by families with young children on bikes, dog walkers, hikers, runners along with many other people, so we do need to be mindful of others We do go through some old Railway Tunnels, You WILL NEED GOOD QUALITY FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS! A Head torch and a front bike light would be even better. A Rear light is essential

We will have as many stops as people need and will stop for coffee (assuming the cafe is open) as well as a haribo stop

You WILL NEED GOOD QUALITY FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS! A Head torch and as well as a front bike light would be even better. A Rear light is essential so you are visible to people behind you. It's not often I insist on essentials (apart from helmets) NO LIGHTS = NO RIDE All under 16's must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Helmet essential, no helmet no ride A suitable bike road worthy bike, (A road bike or a bike with road tyres probably not suitable) Clothing suitable for the weather conditions, we have had a lot of rain, so you will quite likely get muddy. Spare inner tube, tyre levers Water & money for Tea or Coffee

We never leave anyone behind
