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.

This is a shorter route, ideal for winter, with the café coming up after 38 km. If you want a really short route you can cut through Bulwick village after 17.5 km.

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)!

Mint and Ginger in Tur Langton

31/7/2022

Mint and Ginger is a lovely courtyard café on the edge of Tur Langton, and very cycle friendly.

Here are two routes that can take us there; the first goes South from the clubhouse, around Market Harborough and back up to Tur Langton, a loop totaling 67km. The second is more direct and Westerly, going via Gumley and Kibworth.

Here are two 55 Km loops that leave the clubhouse, go West around Market Harborough and then return to the start point for refreshments. One loop goes clockwise, and the other simply reverses the ride and goes anti-clockwise - make sure you download the right one!

Rutland Water East

Here are a couple of routes that visit the East end of Rutland Water. The longer route targets the Harbour Café on the North Shore, while the shorter route stops at Wing Hall. Both routes hit their café stops after 40km, so are good for a winter run out.

At time of writing though, the Harbour Café has closed down; we hope it opens again soon.

Winter Run to Fineshade Wood

12/12/2021

Here's a ride out for those shorter winter mornings, with plenty of uphill bits to keep you warm! The ride is about 34 km out to Top Lodge, the café (which normally has indoor space and a sheltered courtyard), followed by a shorter direct ride back to the clubhouse.

The route is downloadable in gpx format below.
