If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.
Lets explore to the south of Coventry! We will leave the Park and head out towards the Roman Lunt Fort at Bagington. Then turn towards the picturesque' village of Stoneleigh, then on towards Kenilworth Castle. We will drop down onto the Warwickshire Green and then follow cycle route 52 towards Warwick Uni and back to the start. This is a lovely 16 mile spin in the country mostly on quiet roads and paths, come and join us you'll love it!
We will start the ride at the entrance to the Park and Ride South near the brick paved area near the bus stop. There is no direct postcode for the car park, sat nav users beware!
The route has a few hills but nothing to taxing. Many of the country roads are in need of repair and whilst there are no major pot holes care should be taken.

Please bring equipment with you to repair punctures, Ride Leaders are there to help but are not responsible for your bike.
