Brantingham Breezers to Folly Lake or back to Scalby Grange

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

I'm thinking of either going to Folly Lake via Welton Dale and back a different way or of going back to Scalby for more of their delicious homemade elderflower cordial with scones and strawberries. Either way, the ride will be about 18 - 20 miles.

Most ladies who come have hybrid, touring or road bikes. People do come on heavier, shopping type bikes, but it's quite hard work for them especially on the hillier rides.

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!
