- Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

Rider Comments on the Route
-
Varied ride, country lanes & busy roads. The mixed ability of the group caused it to split into 2/3 groups which "in my opinion" spoilt the enjoyment of riding in a large group! Thank you -
liked the section of country lanes, but alot of time spent crossing busy roads, traffic lights, going through housing estates and weaving on and off the cycle paths. -
