Starting point




Leicestershire
LE16 7EU

After riding out of Bowden, we'll make our way past Foxton Locks and up the "little" hill into Gumley. It's short but it's steep so you may need to get off your bike but it will definitely warm us up! Then it's more or less downhill all the way home, as take in the stunning views, loop through Laughton, and get back to Foxton Locks. From there we retrace our route back to Bowden.

Get the blood flowing on this delightful countryside ride

We ride on quiet country lanes with little traffic

We'll stop for breathers along the way and there will also be the opportunity to enjoy refreshments 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 a spare inner tube just in case. It's likely to be cold so don't forget gloves and Iights are a good idea too.

This ride is perfect for new or returning cyclists. We ride at a gentle pace, chatting as we ride and we never leave anyone to struggle.
