This Thursday’s Ladies Leisure Ride will actually be on roads, but will definitely be a leisure, rather than roadie, ride.
Starting at the Wanborough Village Hall (where you can park) we will head out to Nightingale Woods and home via a coffee stop.
Route will be about 10 miles, although options to go further if everyone feels like it.
Back to Nightingale Woods for this Ladies Leisure Ride, this time via the tracks and bridleways.
Starting at the New Calley Arms on Ham Road, we will head out to Nightingale Woods and home via a coffee stop.
Route will be about 10 miles, although options to go further if everyone feels like it.
After a summer break, Ladies Leisure Rides Returns!
Meeting just outside Waitrose , Witchelstowe at 10.30am, we will take a leisurely ride along the Old Railway cycle path along the bottom of Old Town . There is an option of a short 3 1/2 mile loop or a longer 7 mile loop with a lap of Croft , depending on what everyone would like to do. I’m happy to tailor the ride to suit you ladies!
This is entirely ladies only (excuse my hubby photo-bombing in the pic above , he won’t be making an appearance!) and perfect for beginners.
Really excited to welcome new ladies to my leisure rides , so what’s stopping you !! Come and enjoy a ride with cake and coffee afterwards, along with a good old girlie natter!!
See you there ladies – oh and don’t forget your MyWaitrose card for free coffee!
We’re going back to the Forest of Dean, with a twist.
A few people have asked us about bringing their teenagers with them on rides and so we’ve put this together with you mind.
Verderers is rightly the showcase trail at FoD and is perfect for showing a competent rider what a great mountain bike trail has to offer (in a controlled manner!).
So the ride is open to all, including your children – we just ask that you accompany your kids on the ride. Verderers does have some reasonable climbs in it & is 7 miles long, so we would suggest a minimum age of 13, unless your child is particular fit and experienced (although ultimately it’s a public trail and your decision & responsibility).
We will have 2 ride leaders on the day (including our Welfare Officer Davinia), to show what you should do to check your bikes before you set off and show you the trail itself, as well as some of the slightly off route features along the way (such as the great little skills practice areas).
We will meet at the Pedalabikeaway cycle centre in Cannop Valley, which has excellent facilities and a great atmosphere – you’ll need £3.50 for parking for the day.
