Not-quite-so-lazy Green Evening Lanes

This route takes in a few hills but luckily what goes up must come down which, along with the views, is the reward. we will be riding at an 8-10mph speed, slower on the hills, and there is no shame in walking! We will all reassemble at the top.
The route is a figure of eight to Peters Green and Whiteway Bottom, before returning to Peters Green and home via Bowers Heath

A beautiful route but a few more hills than last week.

Mainly country lanes with a few stretches of busier B roads

If we make it in time we may have a brief stop at The Bright Star to celebrate Penny's 100th ride, but this depends on having enough time to be back before sunset at 21:15. If not we will stop en route to catch up and admire the views.

Rides are a little different to pre covid. We will be cycling in smaller groups 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, money/card for coffee 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! Please bring lights on this ride.

We never leave anyone behind
