A 28 mile challenging ride from Leavesden Cycle Hub via Chipperfield to Gadebridge Park, Hemel Hempsted, for a Breeze picnic social. A great chance to meet other Breeze Champions and riders. This ride is suitable for those confident in using gears and brakes on steep up and down hill, and mixing with traffic. The pace is steady and we aim to arrive at Gadebridge 12pm. There is the option of a tea stop at the end of the ride at Leavesden cafe – cakes are highly recommended! There are several steep hills en route but no one will be left behind. We will be heading back via the Nicky line and the beautiful Gorhambury estate. We'll be riding mostly quiet country lanes with some gravelly off road sections, suitable for road and hybrid bikes with wider tyres. Toilets are available in the parks. Do bring along sufficient water and food for our picnic lunch. Please check in advance that your bike is mechanically sound and the tyres are pumped. Bring spare tubes and tools, and ensure you have alternative means of getting home if you are unable to fix a puncture. Lights for the darker lanes are advisable. Places are limited so if you find you can’t attend, do cancel so another person can join. **Covid Guidance** If you are showing any Covid 19 symptoms please do not attend the ride, and if you develop any symptoms after the ride, do let me know so I can inform everyone who attended. We will do a bike check but will not be sharing equipment or food so ensure you have everything you need.
