Starting point




Leicestershire
LE16 7EU

We'll ride first to Thorpe Langton and then on to Welham and head for Weston. However, we'll turn left before we get to Weston and go "under" the railway bridge that's now used by climbers. We turn right to make our way to Medbourne where we'll ride over (or may be through!) Medbourne Brook, one of the Welland's tributaries. We return to Bowden via Weston and Welham.

A cycle ride through the beautiful Welland Valley. The river itself forms the boundary between Leicestershire and Northamptonshire and we'll enjoy the countryside it flows through

We ride on quiet country lanes with little traffic.

We'll stop for breathers along the way and there's also the opportunity to enjoy a cafe stop together at the end of the ride.

You must wear a helmet and it's also a good idea to bring a water bottle and a spare inner tube just in case. Keep an eye on the weather, you may want gloves.

We ride at a gentle pace chatting as we ride and we never leave anyone to struggle on their own. New or returning riders are particularly welcome.
