Starting point

DA11 7NP

Foyer of Cyclopark There are toilets and refrshements available at Cyclopark If driving, car parking in Cyclopark car park costs £1.

This free guided ride is part of the Women on Wheels event, but you can just join the ride if you can't spend the whole day (11:00 to 17:00) at Cyclopark! (See below for more details) Grab your bike and enjoy a gentle ride from the iconic cycling facility 'Cyclopark' to Jeskyns Country Park. We will pause for a cuppa in Jeskyns Cafe (in the Jeskyns Comunity Woodland) half way round, so please bring money. This ride is in a traffic free environment, so perfect for beginners or those returning to riding after a break. As well as money for the cafe stop, please bring waterproofs and a spare inner rube for your bike (much quicker and easier to change the inner tube than mend a puncture out on the ride!). Wear layers in case you get warm, flat-soled shoes, and nothing too flappy around your ankles. Check your bike before heading out: Are the tyres fully inflated? Do both brakes work? Is the chain rust-free and lightly oiled? If you have any questions, can't find the start point, or get delayed, please contact the ride leader Alison on 07967 094967.
