Leader:John Stamp |
Start Time:10:00 am |
Start Location:Old Mill Hall |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Easy sociable ride of 24-32 km (15-20 miles) at a pace of 14-17km/h (9-11 mph).A 14.5 mile flat trip to Millets for coffee using gravel tracks where possible with a detour to St Luke’s Church in Garford. 30% of route on gravel / hardcore surface. No guarantee we will get there; last section (Garford to Millets) hasn’t been checked by ride leader. (However I've been assured we should be able to ride two abreast) |
||
Report:A nice cool breeze for once, little traffic on roads; made cycling a pleasure.Good coffee at Millets, however for the future it would be advisable to obtain a permit in advance from Millets HQ to travel along the ‘permitted footpath’ from Garforth towards the Farm Shop. Possible to cycle as far as Phoebe Woods but then it’s a walk (say 8mins) to the café via the animal’s enclosures. No bike racks at café and long wait (say 10mins) to secure coffees. St Luke’s Church had scaffold to the bell tower. Av speed whilst cycling 7.5mph. | ||
Distance:23.66 km (14.70 mi) | ||
