A gentle social ride from Boscombe Pier to Hengistbury Head and back to celebrate Bike Week https://www.cyclinguk.org/bikeweek. This ride is largely traffic free and is low speed, so no one gets left behind! There are lovely views of Bournemouth Beach and Christchurch Harbour during the ride. We stop for 10-15 minutes at Hengistbury Head to enjoy the view and then return to Boscombe Pier where you can watch the sunset...
Safety: This is not a particularly hazardous ride, but you do ride at your own risk and are responsible for your own actions. Pedestrians have priority on traffic free sections and there is a maximum speed in these areas of 10 mph. Pay particular attention to dogs and small children. There may be some sand on the path on sections of the route.
Weather: this ride will not take place if there are strong winds (>20 mph on the BBC website Bournemouth forecast 2 hours before the ride) and/or heavy rain.
