FAQ:
What do I need to bring?
Yourself, your e-ticket, a bike and clothing suitable for off-road riding. Please make sure you have the means to repair your own punctures/mechanical issues! A very powerful front light is requried and a rear light is advised, as you will be riding off road in the dark.
Is there somewhere I can leave my bag/belongings while I ride?
Yes you are welcome to leave a bag with us in the café for safe keeping until you return from the ride. All items will need to be collected by the end of the evening.
Can I drive and park at the cafe
Yes, we have some spaces available in the farm. When this is full then there is a large verge outside the entrance that people have been parking on, as long as the farm entrance is kept clear.
How fast will the ride be?
If it is a large group you may wish to split into smaller groups and go at your own pace, as long as everyone meets back at the café for food.
How technical will the ride be?
It’s mostly bridleways, the usual mix of mud, gravel and grass! You will need moderate fitness and some technical skill.
I’d like to come but can’t make it as early as 1800 :(
That’s fine, we will share the GPX route with you so you can head off on the route when you arrive, but be sure to make it back in time for the food.
Will there be more events like this in the future?
Yes! we will be doing both gravel and road rides along similar lines. Stay tuned for details, join The Herd and keep an eye on our Instagram. We also have a Strava club click here.
