West loop returning to Geddington

18/9/2022

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.

This ride is another 'century' ride - 100 miles. It heads to the last place where the Welland can be crossed, Fosdyke.

Refreshment stops are at about 50 and 100 Km, in Market Deeping and then Pichbeck, just North of Spalding.

Brigstock - 'Flat'

Here's a summer route that is (relatively) flat, ideal for the 2022 heatwave. It gets the bigger hills out of the way early, allowing us to enjoy the sunshine without too much toil. 70km with the café appearing after about 50.

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.

Anyone wishing to try a steady 25 mile cycle of 2 halves averaging 10-12mph on Sunday 31st July would be more than welcome to join Rockingham Forest Wheelers and friends. We will be leaving the Clubhouse at 0900hrs. Come along, we are a friendly bunch and no cyclist is left behind. "It's not a race just a steady pace"! We will be cycling to the Mint and Ginger in Tur Langton for coffee and cake before heading back to Middleton.

82km loop to Buddhist Centre in Thornby

10/7/2022

Here's the full loop in Strava

Lovely coffee and cakes from the veggie café in the grounds of an old country house. It doesn't open until 11:00 though, so worth getting a few more miles in before the stop!
