Ride Description – We’ll initially set off through Abbots Ripton, then on to Alconbury Weston and Clopton, before skirting to the west of Oundle. We’ll avoid Corby by taking a route to the north, through Deenthorpe, and ride under one of the 82 arches of the Welland Viaduct , before reaching our mid-morning refreshment stop after about 1hr25mins (50 miles). Once refreshed, we’ll carry on in a westerly direction, through Smeeton, Shearsby, Stapleton and Coalville, before arriving at out lunch stop 50 miles (1hr30mins) after departing our first stop. A fuel stop is programmed for just before arrival at the George & Dragon for those whose bike might require a top-up to make it all the way home.

After lunch we’ll head back in the direction of Melton Mowbray (passing through Belton and Wymeswold on the way), then through Great Dalby and Little Dalby, before arriving at our afternoon pit stop on the outskirts of Oakham, 40 miles and just over 1hr after our leaving our lunch stop. The final stretch will then take us south to Uppingham, then under the Welland Viaduct again (a different arch this time!), before skirting Oundle again (this time to the north). Onwards to Old Weston, Kimbolton and Hail Weston, St. Neots, Toseland and Yelling, to finish our ride at the Caxton Gibbet services.
