Our Etape celebrates the final stage of the Tour De France getting back to the Prince of Wales to watch the final kilometres of this amazing race. Just like the Euros, no British person will win the overall race but Manxman Mark Cavendish is on great form in the sprinters competition. He has many reasons to pull the stops out and win the final stage on the Champs D’elyses. he has one four times already, this would make it 5. He has equalled Eddy Merck’s record of 34 TDF stage wins, this see him beat the record and finally he likes winning. Why not put on GREEN kit you have and join us.
We will be using mainly B roads and country lanes. A very short spell on the A 417
No stops planned but we can take a short breather in Charney Bassett for a banana (bring your own!!!)
Please bring a face mask; you have to wear it on entering a café and in the event of first aid being required. For all our rides you should bring at least a spare inner tube and a pump. If your wheels are bolted on then a spanner that fits the nuts is also essential. Helmets are not compulsory but most definitely recommended. You should dress appropriately for the weather, and consider bringing your mobile phone along with cash or debit card for refreshments in the pub.
We welcome new comers to our ride group, but we want you to enjoy the ride so please consider the route, distance and terrain. If this ride is likely to be a bit difficult then check out our other rides which we put on for newbies and returners and join us on something easier
