Loughborough Family Bike Ride

Guided bike ride from Loughborough along the National Cycle Route no.6, the Garendon Trail, to Shepshed. Ride will be steady at a pace to suit all ages. Features a break inside at Shepshed High School where we'll serve hot drinks, you can have a sit down, and toilets will be available (but please bring your own snacks). Majority of the ride is on traffic-free trails, with a few short-stretches on quiet road.
