Ride or Event Navigation
ABINGDON SPRING CYCLING FESTIVAL
You can choose which ride you’d like to join (see second photo). There’s a number limit, so best to sign up early. You will see from their ride descriptions that “Medium” is quite quick (14-16 mph). We tend to average about 12mph, so we recommend choosing “Mellow” if you are not sure.
Ride report
Riders chose from the extensive menu. The off-road 20 miles was hard work: riding muddy tracks is like riding uphill on the road, in this case almost continuously for more than 2 hours.
