* This ride is approx 30 miles so you need to be fairly fit
* This ride starts in Luton town centre where you can lock your cycle and get some lunch or a drink before your ride.
* There is quite a steep incline on Hexton hill this is a segment so why not try and get on the leader board
* Take care crossing the busy @slice[Westoning Road Junction](d,15162.88,15527.04) as this is a very fast road.
