Abbey Park Cafe, Leicester

This six mile ride explores the quiet roads and traffic-free paths around the River Soar and Belgrave Way. Starting at the Abbey Park Cafe, you'll make your way north on quiet roads to Rushey Mead before joining Leicester's hidden gem - the riverside corridor. Despite being within a stone's throw of Leicester's city centre, the watery corridor of the River Soar and the Grand Union canal has a distinctly green and rural feel. However look right as you follow the waterside paths and you'll see the hi-tech tower of Leicester's Space Centre, before entering the tranquil surroundings of Abbey Park for the final leg back to Belgrave Hall. Please note that this ride not suitable for recumbent bikes and bike trailers. Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are 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.
