Cycling in Northamptonshire

That sounds great I will check it out, although 70 miles is a bit much for me at the moment

70 miles is not a regular distance. We normally aim for 20-30 miles at about 13 mph average.

Ah, that sounds better, I will be back in touch in April/May when we have moved. Thank you.

Do you have a link or username or something so that I can find your rides. I have not used this site before.

The link to the sky website is simple:

http://www.goskyride.com/

You can register for free, and then search for rides near to your area. No need to join a formal club, and no costs either. Sometime you do get some oddballs turn up though.

We have a 100 mile challenge up here:

Otherwise its pretty quiet at them moment, I will be putting more regular rides up once the clocks go forward.

If you do move mate then be sure to give me a shout, I'm not too far away but hav'nt a clue about the area

Cheers mate, looks like its on the cards for end of April, so would be good to meet up for a ride at some point. Where are you based?

Sounds good to me mate, I'm just down the road in Bedford

I'm in Coventry and get down that way occasionally, there's some good lanes in the area.

Out club runs regularly get into Northapmtonshire if we head in a NW direction from St. Neots. There's some cracking riding round Oundle, quiet lanes and nice cafes, good combo in my book .

Warwickshire and Northamptonshiire is relatively flat (compared to places like the Lakes). I regularly ride around Rugby and surrounding areas. But I am not a member of any clubs though.

Flat? What about the Brownsover Beast? lol

Been trying to find a club in Northampton but don't seem to be able to find any....

I've been cycling round the lanes round Coventry and in the surrounding areas and they aint flat, the term is rolling Warwickshire country side.

I will be close to Daventry, so will hopefully be using that club, if I have time and SWMBO lets me.

Rolling countryside is good for me. I will be moving to the Warwick side of Daventry so I think the landscape is like this.

Are you in Northampton town or the shire; I'm sure there'll be others but the Kings Cliffe Flyers seem quite active and the less formal Gorillas in Oundle are a friendly bunch despite their name
