Although the Cloud Trail is surfaced, this isn't really a ride for a road bike, but any other kind of bike should be fine. The route is relatively flat, but usual FLAB rules apply - no one gets dropped, we regroup on hills and the pace is governed by the riders at the back.
Bring a working bike, a working helmet, a working sense of humour, a spare inner tube just in case and some money for the cafe and car park.
