GREAT CENTRAL WAY [St Matthews]

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun family way to get your friends or kids riding? Our ride is great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour.
This is a quick route from St Matthews centre of the city to a traffic free green corridor. The route is up the Old Great Central Railway Line to the edge of the city, calling at Leicester's famous pebble beach on the return leg! Discover a bygone industrial past and celebrate Leicester's cultural heritage as you meander back towards Bede Park an award winning riverside park, back to city centre at New Market Square and then on to the Finish at St Matthews Centre again.
