Breeze ride to Shenley

This gentle ride on roads to Orchard Tea Room in Shenley is suitable for those looking to get a few miles in on the roads build their confidence bike riding, or maybe you would just like to ride with other women.

We'll leave Barnet via Galley Lane and after crossing the horse bridge enjoy some country lanes to Ridge. A steady descent and then a gentle climb into the village of Shenley and onto the cafe stop.

Participants should bring with them a fully working bike (please check yours before arriving as we are unable to make repairs on the day), helmets are advised but not compulsory, cash/card for the cafe, water and snacks and paying attention to the weather forecast to decide what to wear.

Participants are also asked to bring with them a face mask (for the cafe) and also hand sanitiser for their personal use. We will ensure social distancing measures are in place thought.

This route is suitable for riders who are comfortable on roads and are seeking to spread their wings a little further, or maybe you just fancy the company of like minded cyclists.

The route is entirely on road and once we escape Barnet we will cycle on quiet country lanes sharing the highway with other cyclists, cars and maybe even horse riders.

There are two stop options on this ride and we will decide on the day which one to take

Helmets are recommended for this route but not compulsory. Dress comfortably for the weather - who know at this time of the year if it is sun screen or rain gear - so please check the weather forecast the night before. Bring water, snacks and money (card) for the stop. Please also bring hand sanitiser and a face mask for the stop. You won't need to wear it while riding as we will maintain social distance while cycling but the cafes may require face coverings. Check your bike the night before for tyres, gears, brakes etc as we are not able to fix problems on the day. Enlist a friend or your local bike shop.

We never leave anyone behind
