North downs outride information

1st February 2024

This will start from the Bluebell Hill picnic area and the ride will last about 3+ hours. As it’s quite hilly terrain make sure your brakes are working well! Please arrive by at least 9.30 – 9.45 am for a 10.00 am start, and come prepared as at this time of year you never know what the weather is going to be like, also some snacks and plenty to drink as there are no facilities such as drinking water, toilets or a café on site. There is a pub nearby  (The Robin Hood) for lunch afterwards though.
