Greens 18 mile loop via Charlie’s

This is an 18 mile loop to Markyate, Studham, Jockey End, Redbourn back to Harpenden. This ride is mainly country roads with a few hills along the way. We always wait at the top and never leave anyone behind which means if you prefer to walk up the hill that is ok!! We will stop at Charlie’s for coffee, cake and chat.

Rides are a little different to pre covid. We will be cycling in smaller groups (max 6 including leaders) and will ride so that we are maintaining appropriate physical distancing. (2m in single file or 1m+ if doubled up)
You will need to bring 2 spare inner tubes and any equipment you would need to change them (pump; tyre levers). In order to maintain social distancing we are not able to help out with any mechanical problems at the moment or share equipment so please ensure your bike is in good working order, and that you have a contact number for someone (or taxi) who can pick you up if you have a mechanical problem that you are unable to deal with. We won’t abandon you but our ability to help is limited.
Helmets are compulsory on this ride and you also must carry a mask (you do not need to wear it whilst cycling but may need it for the coffee stop or if you require first aid assistance). Please also bring a small bottle of sanitiser for personal use, and of course water.
Apologies for this long list of rules, but it is really important to us to keep both riders and leaders safe and once the logistics are out of the way we can get on and enjoy the ride in the knowledge that we are doing it as safely as we possibly can!

We never leave anyone behind
