Launde Abbey Clockwise

4/12/2022

There are three clockwise loops here of 39, 42 and 51 km to take us to Launde Abbey Café, where the coffee break is tempered by thoughts of the sharp climb immediately after leaving the stop! The return from Launde is 20 Km.

The first part of the two longer routes are also useful if you are looking for a short ride to Mint and Ginger in Tur Langton, which comes up after 16km/10miles.

Wadenhoe/Geddington

20/11/2022

This 67km loop runs round the north of Corby, then on a quick run to Oundle (good for a chain gang) before turning to Wadenhoe for the Kings Head. If you don't stop there, the route continues round to Geddington, so Café Oak is also an option.

Strava link to the route is here.

SE Loop to Thrapston

18/11/2022

0 Comments

This 85 km loop flies past Thrapston at 35 km and again at 60 km, so you could easily cut off the Eastern loop and save 25 km. This would mean you won't go past the Kings Head in Wadenhoe, but leaves Thrapston itself or Geddington as potential watering holes.

Here's a link to the Strava route.

Medbourne 'Flower'

6/11/2022

Medbourne is only about 9 km from the clubhouse, so this route wiggles around to make up a decent distance of 52km. By heading towards Medbourne, only to veer off in a different direction a few times, it gives plenty of options to shorten the route if weather or pace require it.

The coffee stop in Medbourne is at Rural Relaxing, which is opposite the sports and social club. For those that eat meat, the bacon butty I had there was exceptional (and I believe the vegan sausage gets the Pete seal of approval)!

West loop returning to Geddington

18/9/2022

2 Comments

The routes here start off West from the club, go anti-clockwise around Market Harborough and end up at Geddington for a café stop. The shorter 60km route is ideal for a shorter winter ride, the longer one is preferred for summer.

The image on the rights shows the different lines for each route.
