Birchgrove Breeze

Welcome to the first Birchgrove Breeze! - Smooth cycle paths and roads - Suitable for all bikes - Flat terrain This ride is the perfect introduction to riding in a group and cycling on roads. We'll start off at Swansea Vale Resource Centre (just by the M4 Junction 44 roundabout) for a quick bike check and a warm up. We'll then venture on to a quiet road for half a mile before turning on to the 43 cycle path at Ynystawe. This has been recently revamped to lovely smooth tarmac and is nice and wide. There will be runners and dog walkers en route, so we'll be riding in single file to pass these, but two abreast riding otherwise - great for a chat! The cycle path continues for just under 4 miles, so a lovely traffic-free start to the morning. When we get to the Liberty Stadium, we'll then head back on the roads through the Enterprise Aone, heading up Nantong Way, then on the flat stretch of Phoenix Way, past Tesco Llansamlet and back to the start. Wrap up warm as it's getting a little chilly, and bring a bottle of water - it's important to keep hydrated whilst you're exercising! Look forward to seeing you there!
