Velos rides for Sunday August 6th 2017

Sunday Rides

A special ride headlines this week – The Benson Finger. By far our most popular ride, it starts out lumpy but the effort is very much rewarded with some beautiful scenery as we cycle through the villages around Benson.

8am start, 72 miles of The Benson Finger
Please note : There will be two distinct groups for this adventure. Dave Howe will lead a faster paced team while Elke Hegarty (on her birthday!) will ride with a more sensible paced “no-one gets left behind” group. This gives us groups that will suit anyone who fancies giving this a try. Don’t be put off by the mileage – the drag back is flat and we always have a tail wind.

10am start, 40 miles

10am start, 23 miles
