53mile out east to the Giddings and stop at Beans : training ride with Andy Parker
This Sunday Andy takes you anti-clockwise out via Thrapston across to the Giddings and loop around taking in Luddington in the Brook – Hemington – Lutton – Tansor – Cotterstock before heading south to Oundle – stopping at Beans Café to refuel and then across to Lower Benefield – past the Benefield Castle – Brigstock and the Brigstock bumps back to Grafton Underwood – retrace back to the bus stop.
Everyone is welcome – just stick to some basic principles of group riding: obey the traffic laws, ride no more than two abreast, never overlap wheels with the person in front and consider other road users. We’ll make sure no one is dropped.

The structure has changed for our club rides… please read.
We are continuing with the new structure to our club rides, catering for the rider who wants a goal of speed and KOM/QOM’s to push themselves, frequency is every week with Andy Parker, and, for the first and third Sunday of the month, we will offer two routes, the later will be circa 30 miles and tailored for the less competitive rider, who is after a social ride, taking in the views, at a pace that is suitable for conversation that will be with Marcus Buksh.
