Cantley to Ockwell Park via Paley Street

Leaving Cantley, we head towards Hurst along the cyclepaths, to Dinton Entrance. Through Hurst Village, and next to Shurlock Row. A little section of Howe Lane, to link to Paley Street, where we will drop over the M4 on the pedestrian bridge towards Ockwell Park. Coffee stop at 13 miles. Return loop via the cyclepaths of the Knowl Hill circuit and if not too messy, through Shottesbrook Park to Waltham St Lawrence. Zig zagging from Shurlock Row along the Straight Mile, we return to Cantley over the M4 motorway bridge. Only 500 feet of climbing, so a pretty flat route overall.

Cycle helmets are compulsory. Please check your bike the night before, chain oiled, tyres fully inflated (makes it easier!), and always carry a spare inner tube suitable for your tyre size. And preferable two! And a pump which you know fits your valve.

First-timers welcome!
