Map
Leaving The Spring at nine we head to Chi for a quick tour around the north of the city. Then head south and in due course stopping for a leisurely coffee and doughnut. Surviving that, a short tour to the south of the city follows and eventually we head toward West Stoke in time for the free lunch that awaits us. The ride terminates at the West Stoke village hall.

About Saturday rides
Saturday rides tend to be small ones. Typically we offer fewer options for rides than Wednesdays, but more flexibility for routes and destinations.
Most rides are morning only, riding out to a stop for elevenses and back again.
Some will be full day with stops for elevenses, lunch and, possibly, tea. If you want to join a full day ride but only to elevenses and need someone to help you with the route back, please let us know in advance of the ride in case someone else that knows the route wants to do the same.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
