Slawston in Summer

We leave Bowden on the virtually traffic free Welham Lane and will turn right once we get to Welham. We'll ride through Weston and on to Medbourne. Once through the ford (it won't be wet at this time of year) we head to Hallaton but will turn left before getting there and cycle into Slawston. From there it's downhill back to Welham and back home via Welham Lane again.

I know it's impossible, but this ride has lots of downhill sections to enjoy and not much in the way of uphill bits! Make the most of the sun and enjoy riding through the lovely Leicestershire countryside.

We ride on quiet roads with little traffic

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

You must wear a helmet on this ride. It's also a good idea to bring a water bottle and spare inner tube just in case.

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