Medbourne Winter Warmer

5/2/2023

0 Comments

 
Here's a short route that packs in the hills to keep us warm, and get us ready for the summer to come!  There are over 700m of climbing in these 61kms, so bring your lightest self and bike!  Once we reach Rural Relaxing (after 52km) you can do just that, as there's a short 20 min ride back to the clubhouse.

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.

Wymondham North

15/5/2022

 
Wymondham gives us a slightly longer ride, with there being two routes.  Here are Strava links for the 83km and 101km routes.

Wymondham Windmill Tea Rooms is a lovely café next to the old windmill with outdoor open space  and a small copse with a short walking trail.

​There's an alternative stop on the larger ride, with the Dairy Barn Café and ice cream parlour being a bright, airy modern café in a country setting.

Cafe Ventoux, Tugby

24/10/2021

 
Café Ventoux in Tugby is a real cyclists 'honey pot', where you'll always find plenty of customers in lycra. 
​
The first route takes us out to the North-West via Houghton, before coming back up and round from the North; here's the Strava link.

Top Lodge, Fineshade Wood

29/5/2021

 
Top Lodge café at Fineshade Wood can get busy if the weather is good, but there's lots of room and an outside courtyard.  Fineshade is one of the last remaining wooded areas left of the old Rockingham Forest.

This loop starts off going West from the club, then swings up North through Uppingham and Rutland before returning across the Welland Valley to Fineshade.  The total loop is 75km; here's the route in Strava.

    Club Routes

    Here are some routes that we regularly use for club runs.  Use the Categories to limit the routes you see.  The compass points relate to where the ride goes from the clubhouse. Routes  can be downloaded for your cycle computer, either directly as a GPX or via Strava for TCX.
