The ride:

This ride takes us from Forest Farm Country park to the Bay and over the barrage.

Flat and almost all on a cycle trail, with a few sections on-road, this is a pretty and interesting route following the River Taff.

We'll go from Grangetown to Pont y Werin into Penarth before crossing the barrage.

We'll stop in the Bay, most likely at Coffi & Co in the Bay where you can buy a drink and snack if you want, or bring your own. (You may want to download the Coffi&Co app as their ordering is online).

We'll be outdoors at all times.

Along the Taff Trail into Cardiff and back - come on a Nextbike if you like (there's a stand in Radyr). Meet at Radyr railway station near the ticket office.

Mainly traffic free along the Taff Trail into Cardiff and back

Cafe stop in the city centre

Helmets advised

First-timers welcome!
