The Christmas festivities may possibly have left you feeling stuffed with turkey, chocolates and alcohol so what better way to prepare for yet more of the same on New Year’s Eve than coming out on one of the five rides we have this weekend*. We’ve continued to see huge numbers turn up for rides all the way through the winter so why not come along for the final rides of 2017?
*Any announcement of ride cancellations due to weather will be posted in the Facebook group and on the website about an hour before the scheduled start time.
Saturday 10am Gentle: The Swan Hotel in Kineton will be the stopping point on the gentle cafe ride on a route of 30 miles that will be ridden at an average of 12-14mph.
Saturday 10am Intermediate: The slightly faster Intermediate ride is also going to Kineton, and stretching the legs with a couple of hills along the way. Expect 15-16mph over the 33 mile course.
