Sutton Bank off-road beginners ride

From Sutton Bank we will ride the gravel trail through the woods and then after a short bit of road we pick up the cycle route along the escarpment back to the visitors centre where we will have refreshments before repeating the loop with more confidence.

Riding on traffic free, easy to ride gravel tracks. Suitable for mountain bikes, hybrid with off-road tyres and gravel bikes. This ride is designed for beginners, or those returning to cycling after a long time, who want to gain confidence riding off-road in a relaxed group of like-minded women.

We will stop regularly to chat, ask questions and take photos.

Helmets MUST be worn on this ride. No loose clothing, gloves and cycling glasses highly recommended. Please bring an inner tube and pump suitable for your bike. A drink and money for refreshments. There is a car park fee of £3.50. We will do a bike safety check before the ride but please make sure your bike is in good working order. Bike hire is available from Sutton Bank Bikes (01845 597759) - please arrange this prior to the ride.

This is a social ride, definitely not fast or technical.
