What the day feels like

What the ride feels like

The ride is a self‑paced exploration guided by a Going Blue map: a quick orientation sets you off along a chosen circuit, with electric assist smoothing climbs so the focus stays on the waterline vistas, country lanes and the occasional historic main street stop rather than the effort.
