This Sundays ride will take us over towards Frensham Ponds. It won’t be a particularly technical ride, though it will be a bit longer than the usual Sunday rides (approx 26miles taking 3-4hrs). The pace will be ‘social’, though we may need to keep an eye on the time given the distance, but the route is flexible if we fall behind.
