About this Event

Stroud Spring ride

Self-supported social ride - 22 miles of mixed surface fun.

📅 Saturday 4th of April

📍Meeting at Church Street Car Park (at the back of St Laurence Church)

✨Leaving promptly at 9:30am

🏁 Finishing back in Church Street for Optional walk/ coffee at Stroud Market

Starting with a beautiful climb up through Slad Valley, famous for inspiring the writer Laurie Lee who grew up exploring these hills. Taking in some awesome gravel trails, passing along the Cotswold way and up the epic Painswick Beacon!

For chunkier tyres and people comfortable riding off road on mixed terrain. Wear what you like, expect lots of chatting, stopping for photos or snacks & lots of smiles.

We will ride at a relaxed party pace, however a good level of fitness will be required. We aim to ride together and will re-group at top of hills or bottom of technical/muddy sections. Nobody gets left behind.

Please wear a helmet - Remember to bring: snacks, drink, spares, tools, warm layers, a waterproof and lights.

This is a self supported social ride which means you must be able to navigate yourself. You are responsible for yourself, the decisions you make and ensuring your bike is in good working order. You are responsible for yourself & your bike but don't worry this is a friendly group, we ride together and if we can will help out if any problems occur.

We recommend having a close look at the route to decide if the ride is suitable for you before coming along. Available to view/download on Ride with GPS here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54285772

✨ These rides are FREE to attend but places are limited. This is to keep it as safe and as enjoyable as possible for everyone, this includes ride participants and other path users. We also don’t want to overwhelm our cafe stops with lots of riders showing up unexpected. PLEASE BOOK to secure your spot.
