Gravel Ride

Our gravel rides are designed as an easy introduction to the network of old railway lines, canal towpaths, byways and bridleways that we are fortunate to have on our doorstep.  You should be riding a gravel or MTB type bike. Lower than normal road gears, gravel tyres and robust frames will be required for most of the rides. SPD shoes and pedals are also much more robust and comfortable for the times that you have to get off and walk. MTBs are also fine, although heavier and slower to ride for the on road sections of the rides.

These rides are currently irregular. We have some great routes in the archive but need a ride leader to get something on the calendar!
