Graceful Green to Sturgate Airport Cafe.

We will head out via Kirton, Grayingham, Willoughton and Springthorpe to the cafe at Sturgate Airfield. Returning via Heapham, Corringham and Northorpe.

A reasonably flat ride, 25 miles on quiet roads, all tarmac. This is a Graceful Green ride and we aim at an average speed of 9 - 11 mph for a relaxed ride with chance to chat on the way. No one will be left behind but if you think this ride is too FAST or too SLOW for you, please consider choosing one of our other rides.

The route is all on Fairly quiet public roads. Suitable for most bikes with road or multi purpose tyres. E bikes are fine, as long as they are legal and keep with the group

We will take a refreshment stop at the Cafe at Sturgate Airport which has just re-opened under new management. They have a nice outdoor seating and if we are lucky there might be some flying action to watch.

Please arrive at 9:15 for introductions, briefing and safety check to allow a prompt start at 10:00. Helmets are recommended. Please ensure you have a spare inner tube that fits your bike, a working pump and cash for the refreshment stop. Please also bring (but not wear) a face covering for emergencies. If you have any Covid 19 like symptoms or have been in contact with anyone who has such symptoms please do not attend the ride.

First-timers welcome!
