This is ride is a steady Green ride at a pace of 8-10mph, with stops to have a drink, admire the views and catch our breath. There are some hills but we will wait to regroup at the top so you are welcome to go at your own pace. We will head out via Markyate and return via Redbourn.

A classic Green spin to Charlie's

Mostly on quiet country lanes

We will be stopping at Charlie's at Jockey End for a coffee

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!

First-timers welcome!
