Please read ALL the information carefully. If you are unsure about any of the details please ask.

This is a series of 6 rides, one per week. These rides are ideal if you can cycle approximately 10 miles. Don't worry if you are not quite there, we all ride together, no one is left behind.

Each week we will increase the miles by approximately 2 miles per week (depending on the ability of the group). By the end of the 6 weeks we hope to be going on a lovely 20 mile potter to celebrate your wonderful achievement!

We will cycle on tracks, cycleways and on short road sections. Don't worry they are short, generally around 0.6 mile. You will be supported all the way as we cycle these together.

This week: We leave Beuley Café turning left onto Barnsley Road. After 42 metres turn sharp left onto Slack Lane. Boyne Hill. At the roundabout Turn Left onto Wood Lane. Follow Wood Lane for 0.3 mile. The road turns 90 degrees to the left, on this corner we turn Right onto a cycle/walking track.
At the junction we switch back on ourselves following the track up and over the road, we turn right travelling along the road for 30 metres taking the turning on our left to re-join the track.
We follow the track all the way to Anglers Park where we will have a well earned brew before our return trip via the same route.
IMPORTANT: CYCLING HELMETS MUST BE WORN. You will not be allowed to participate if you do not have a cycling helmet.
If you require any further information please don't hesitate to contact me.
