Who’s It For?

Ideal for intermediate and experienced cyclists, but if you're new to cycling and want to give it a go, you're also very welcome! The route offers several options for leaving early via bike or train.

Pace & Terrain

Speed: 10-12 mph, always at the pace of the slowest rider—no one gets left behind!

Route: Mostly flat with some climbs, mixing roads, trails, and canal paths. 

Traffic: Some busy roads—riders should feel comfortable cycling alongside traffic.

Bike & Rider Prep:

  • Best suited to hybrid bikes, the route is also doable on a road or mountain bike.
  • Ensure your bike is in good condition (inflated tyres, working brakes, oiled chain). The ride leader cannot provide repairs.
  • Bring a spare inner tube, snacks, and water.
  • Wear suitable comfortable clothing. Layers including something wind/water proof are recommended.
  • You must wear a helmet as this is one of OutdoorLads cycling participation requirements.

Weather Conditions 

If extreme weather is forecast, we may postpone the ride. We’ll notify participants as early as possible.
