Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
3 hours 20 mins  (2 hours 20 mins cycling)
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.

Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Carol Savage
  • Tony Paplauskas Hi!
    My name is Tony and I'll be one of your ride leaders for the Sky Ride you'll be joining us for in the near future. For my day job, I'm a primary PE specialist and teach cycling skills at my school in Coventry. I'm also a Bikeability trained instructor and of course a Sky Ride Leader! I'm really looking forward to getting lots of people, of all ages, onto their bikes and enjoying it as much as I do.
    As far as my own cycling goes, I don't think I fit into any particular category as I like to try different cycling related activities. I do however, enjoy cycling with friends and family on long, sunny days in the countryside. More recently, I've started to go further afield on short cycling holidays with my wife.
    Looking forward to meeting you - bring the sunshine with you!
  • Ian Oliver Ian Oliver Been riding for many years, mostly for fun, but I currently commute ten miles to maintain a degree of fitness.. I enjoy trying new routes, seeing new things, meeting new people. Rode Lands End-John O'Groats in 2010, and getting itchy toes again...

Rider Comments on the Route

  1. Zorena Paplauskas Sunday 28th July
    An enjoyable ride thru' beautiful countryside. Not sure I agree with an easy rating as some of the hills would not be suitable for younger riders. Lovely sunday ride and would do it again.
  2. Rob Gullen Sunday 28th July
    The ride was well-organised, although only a handful of riders - however the ride was "not for me" [being rather slower than anticipated] and I left early. The ratings for rides appear to need better descriptions to attract riders and match suitability/desires.
