AL5 1PY

This is a shorter ride, aimed at newcomers to Breeze, and anyone who wants to gain confidence in their cycling (and pretty much anyone else who fancies ride with coffee/delicious cakes and chatter on a Saturday morning)
We will set out from Southdown over to Nomansland Common, skirt Heartwood Forest on the cycle path before wriggling through the lanes to Wheathampstead. The coffee stop comes 2/3rds of the way round. As ever, there are hills, but you are always welcome to walk and we will regroup at the top.

A leisurely ride around the quiet local lanes for a fabulous coffee at The Brewhouse

Most;ly on quiet country lanes, with a short section of track and some busier roads

We will stop at the lovely Brewhouse in Wheathampstead.

Helmets are compulsory on this ride. Please bring a spare inner tube, plenty of water , sunscreen and clothing appropriate to the weather. Plus money for coffee if you wish to indulge.

We especially welcome newbies!
