Wednesday Club Run to Dimmingsdale

 

12 riders out on this 61-mile ride at an average of 11.9 mph.

My first visit to the iconic, charming and most efficient Ramblers’ Retreat.

Did you know that you can see and download previous routes since 2014 in our extensive back catalogue? Links are on top right of the Rides overview page. These are the rides we’ve planned, not necessarily the rides we rode, since apparently at least I have been known to plan to ride down a lane that doesn’t actually exist as anything other than a very muddy path. But we travel hopefully.

Thanks to John for additional photos.
