Gravel Ride to The Cheese Shed at Nettlebed

Surley Row to the Cheese Shed & back

Starting opposite Highdown Secondary School and Sixth Form College/Monkey Moos in Surley Row, there is plenty of free on street parking and some parking bays. This is a steady ride with some climbs, no pressure to ride up, we will regroup at the top.

The route includes some quiet on road, some offroad (expect mud) and some busier sections. 18 miles, just under 690 feet climbing, with most of the climbing on the way to the Cheese Shed, with some nice descents on our way back.

We'll be stopping at the Cheese Shed for coffee/toasties etc https://www.nettlebedcreamery.com/the-cheese-shed

Cycle helmets are highly advisable for this ride. Please bring a lock if you have one, else we can share. Please bring water for the journey, money/card for the coffee stop, a spare inner tube and a pump (I will bring a puncture repair kit and a pump for both valve types, so don’t let not having these stop you coming).
