Brantingham Breezers Steady Ride from WELTON to Folly Lake

We’re a friendly group of ladies who go out from the Triton for a ride of about 14 – 18 miles on Wednesday mornings for a cycle, coffee and a chat.

We'll start this week's ride in Welton. In view of the iffy forecast, we'll go to Folly Lake rather than along the river bank. The route will be up Welton Dale, so it's not too hilly, although there is a short, stiff hill out of Little Weighton. The route back will depend on the weather.

The ride will be at steady pace - that's about 10 - 11 mph along the flat.. Hills are a different matter - everyone goes at their own pace and it's always OK to walk - bottom gear! But if you haven't ridden for a while, it might be best to book onto an easygoing paced ride first and see how you get on.

We go out in most weathers, but nevertheless, I will cancel the ride if there is a weather warning for conditions which would make the ride dangerous.

If you've queries, please contact me, Shirley on 07480 409 869

I'll try to post details of the route nearer the time when I've seen the weather forecast - and wind direction/strength.

Quiet lanes and roads with the occasional busier stretch.

There's always a coffee stop and stops to admire the view (if any!), have a breather and a drink.

Helmets are advisable. Please bring an inner tube, suitable clothing (if you have too many layers, you can put extra clothes in my pannier but remember to retrieve them afterwards!), lights and a bike lock if you have them and money for refreshments.

First-timers welcome!
