How far can you go?
All routes start in Leighton Bromswold. You will cycle from village to village on quiet country lanes.
To make sure there is an opportunity for everyone, no matter their age, ability or experience, to take part, there are six signed routes:
Please note: All cyclists must wear a helmet and carry a water bottle. There will be a feed station or two on the longer routes and the routes have been planned to include villages with shops, cafes and pubs where possible. We would still urge you to carry enough sustenance to get you round your chosen route, and would suggest carrying a small amount of cash and a mobile phone. Support vehicles will be available if it all goes wrong, these and can be summoned by a phone call.
Start times
Start times are staggered according to the distance. The longer routes do allow for refreshment stops at cafes or pubs. Bromswold Bike Fest is not a timed event/race. Its about family fun and raising money for a good cause; you decide the pace you wish to ride and how many stops you want to make. We anticipate most cyclists will complete their route between 1.00 - 3.00 pm.
Final tuning for your bike with the Cycle Doctors!
If you have any problems with your bike, or simply want to make sure it will go the distance on the day, on Saturday, 1 June there will be a pop-up Cycle Clinic on the Green (outside The Green Man, Leighton Bromswold) from 10.00 am. The cycle clinic, sponsored by Pedel Barn will also be available on 8 June for any last minute adjustments.
Any parts required will be charged at cost and we would ask that make a donation to the charities for the labour.
