This week I have selected two 15 mile rides around Buckingham, out and back. I have specifically chosen this format for any riders around the town who have been wanting to join a ride, but put off by the time commitment, or distance.
This format will allow any rider to be dropped off back in Buckingham after the coffee stop, or indeed choose to continue with the ride, if feeling good about their level of fitness.
For the first loop we will head to Gawcott, Finmere, Shalstone, Boycott, Stopping at Stowe cafe for refreshments, before returning down Stowe Avenue to Buckingham to complete the first 15 miles.
For those continuing, we will head out up to Maids Moreton, Leckhampstead, Thornborough, Coombs, Padbury, Lenborough, Gawcott, returning to Buckingham again, for completion of the second 15 mile loop.
Weather is now looking dodgy but perhaps it will allow us the first loop, chilly compared to recent, so an extra layer and waterproof is advisable. A moderate breeze from the South shouldn't factor too much, as we will not be heading in one direction for too long.
To new riders...don't forget to wear a helmet, we have a no helmet, no ride policy, sorry!
Do bring a drink, you may be surprised how quickly you develop a thirst on a ride. And also bring something to snack on to boost your energy.
Those living along the route, if you want to join the ride as it passes, just let me know your intention, so I can keep a lookout for you. We will be riding at around 12mph ( 1 mile = 5 mins). So calculate how soon we will arrive, and make sure you are ready to join as we appear.
I think that covers everything, if not just call me on 07952 226898. Hope this ride strikes a cord with others looking for a start to getting back on their bikes.
