Watford Cycle Hub: Ivinghoe Beacon & Aldbury Pace Average: 13+ mph

This is our monthly relatively 'Faster Paced Ride' where we try to help riders begin to bridge the gap between 'Leisure Rides' and Club Pace, so you'll get a good work out and can enjoy your treat of choice at the Cureositea Tearooms at Ivinghoe! :)

We kindly ask that you only attend if you are comfortably hitting 12-13mph over 30 mile hilly routes. This route has been designed to combine a range of hill climb challenges, through mainly quiet, scenic country lanes, with a few busier sections. The total climb for the ride is 2686 feet / c. 820 metres.

Your bike must be in good working order for this ride and you must be in good health.

Come prepared with:

- Two Spare Inner Tubes
- Money/Card to buy refreshments or in case you need to catch the train back to Watford at Tring / or get a cab
- Water &/or Electrolyte/Isotonic drink or gels
- Snacks: E.g. Gels, Bars, or Good Old Flapjack works!
- Appropriate clothing for the conditions and for cycling this kind of distance: padded shorts or tights are highly recommended

Our Ride Leaders look forward to sharing this Challenging Plus Route, the scenery and the cake with you. :)
