Gentle road ride to Emmaus, Bedfordshire - 28 miles

This is a gentle paced route (around 1000 feet of elevation) which will be suitable for women looking to challenge themselves a little bit. We will go at the pace of the group and no one ever gets left behind! This ride will be on the road, but we will will ride on pretty quiet country roads. The ride is not completely flat, we have some gentle undulations but nothing at all daunting! and we ride at the pace of the group.

Due to the distance of the ride, this ride is NOT SUITABLE for beginners. A shorter Breeze ride will be offered on Saturday 29 January, which would be preferable for those women starting out. Please do message me if you are not sure.

We will start in Newport Pagnell, in the carpark opposite the Fire Station, where free parking is available. We will use minor roads up to North Crawley, Newton Blossomville and then on to Emmaus cafe in Carlton.

There is indoor and outdoor seating and toilets available.

We then return through Olney and Sherington back to Newport Pagnell.

Our rides are for all - we ride together at a pace that suits everyone and no one is ever left behind. We will pause to catch our breath as needed.

Please wear a helmet and bring a spare inner tube and pump, please ensure your bike is well maintained. Always a good idea to bring water.

You will be riding under the guidance of British Cycling trained Ride Leader and Breeze Champion.

Out of courtesy for others, please do not attend if you are showing any covid symptoms such as a persistent cough or high temperature, or if you have come into contact with anyone with these symptoms.

I look forward to meeting you and please do message in advance if you have any questions at all. All the best, Ann
