Our route will take us around the island of Shapinsay.
The roads are quiet single track and tarred in mostly good condition.
We will stop at the north end of the island for a snack/sandwich and again back in the village - we will make sure we have time for the cafe if it's open should anybody fancy a brew.
Helmets advisable. Please bring a small bag with a waterproof jacket + spare layer, a spare tube to fit your bike if you have one and enough drink/snacks to last the morning. A flask of something hot or pennies for the cafe also highly recommended ☺️
First-timers welcome!
