About the route

Starting point




Cumbria
CA15 7JT

Nice introduction to riding on quiet roads. We head out of Dearham, through Gilcruz and towards Bothel on quiet country roads, before heading back along the same route. No café stop I'm afraid but we can always stop in Gilcruz to see if one of the pubs is open for a soft drink and a bag of crisps.

The ride is suitable for all bike types and abilities. As ever we will ride at the pace of the slowest rider, in a nice sociable group. Its a great ride to start building your confidence for riding on the roads.

You will need to wear a cycle helmet and some high vis is recommended, as are working lights on your bike, Please ensure that you are suitably dressed for the weather and have a spare inner tyre (just in case!). Some money and a bike lock may also be useful if we stop for refreshments.
