About the route

Starting point




Leicestershire
LE16 9FG

Leaving Harborough behind we head for East Farndon before turning right to Lubenham. We then ride through Marston Trussell and climb Dicks Hill where we can pause to enjoy the Bluebell wood. We then ride through Sibbertoft and skirt around Naseby before taking the lane that leads to Kelmarsh were we will stop for refreshments. To get home we ride through Arthingworth and Braybrooke. Unless things change, we should have the wind behind us on the way home!

This is similar to last week's route but in reverse and this time we stop at Kelmarsh Hall (Sweet Peas Cafe) for refreshments. It's 38km, 23,5 miles long!

We ride on quiet country roads with little traffic.

We'll stop for breathers along the way and also enjoy a cafe stop about 2/3 of the way into the ride.

You must wear a helmet on this ride and it's also a good idea to bring a spare inner tube just in case!

We ride at a gentle pace chatting as we go and we never leave anyone to struggle on their own.
