Beginner Ride from Civic Centre to Belmont

This route takes us from the former Civic Centre through quiet streets to Hindes Road. We cross Station Road to reach Kenton Recreation Ground via the underpass, cycle round the park and then north towards Belmont Circle along Kenmore Avenue. We'll enjoy the traffic-free Belmont trail to Mountside and then cross Kenton Lane at the Duck in the Pond, to go south down Bishop Ken Road and back through Byron Recreation Ground and Elmgrove Road.

The route will give you a chance to practise road riding with experienced ride leaders, along quiet streets and through parks. Before you come please ensure enter your tyres are fully pumped up, the brakes work and the wheels turn freely. Use the 'message leader' function if you have any queries or if you need to hire a bike for £5.
