Default New Riders Rideout, South Midlands Area

Pete and I are willing to organise a day out riding for new/nervous riders who are in the south Midlands area.

Is anybody interested?

Could go to Market Harborough and stop at bike shop. Onto Uppingham then finish at Rutland Water. Return.

Roads a bit quieter than heading south.

Burger van at the bike shop in Market Harborough, about 30 mins to there.

About 30 mins to Uppingham and another 30 mins to Rutland which has a lovely cafe with really GOOD cakes

Meet point to be arranged, and we do like to go out for the day so start time will be 10-10.30 am.

Don't worry, we won't make you eat a burger!

It's more likely that the ride will be on a Sunday, again, much quieter roads and the bike shop is open. We were there today and had a lovely breakfast baguette
