    Hi, I just wondering if there would be any interest in a Leicestershire or Midlands group ride. If anyone is interested or has any ideas of locations. I was thinking Rutland water would be an amazing place for a group ride.

    Hi Jamie, I live in market harborough and would love a group ride ,I'm looking into other areas in the Midlands that would be a good place to ride. Rutland water sounds cool . There's a place called east Carlton park that looks a good ride plenty of off road trails,it's near Corby

    Mr Smith - I fancy the look Kingsbury Water Park - "“So much to see and do at Warwickshire’s premier waterside attraction! Kingsbury Water Park has 15 lakes situated in over 600 acres of country park. Stroll along the surfaced paths, explore hidden corners, spot birds and wildlife, hire a bike, join an organised event or host your own event. Whatever your idea of a countryside visit is, you will find it at Kingsbury.”

    I've been to a few rides with the london groups if you're up for joining the cruise about.

    Also given that summer weather is fastly goin into hibernation....as long as there's no rain I'm always game to get out and rack up some miles.

    If you're comfortable on the roads we could do a small town circuit or do the rutland loop....just got to find a cafe midway for charging up. Would ve ideal if had at least 5 riders though.

    I don't mind riding on roads as long as they ain't too busy and Rutland water sounds cool, hopefully other people read this and might be interested :thumbsup::ok_hand:
