Jamie is leading this relaxed ride that involves some enjoyable cycling in stages for about 20 miles in all. 80% of the route is on quieter roads and some unsurfaced river paths. This route is predominantly flat and thus suitable for all types of bicycles and regular rider abilities. There will be loo stops along the way.

Usual detailed instructions from Jamie. Please read them carefully.
