Breeze 1 The River and The Loch

Leaving the campus we cycle to Auld Mart taking the old railway path towards Burleigh. We join the Heritage Trail cycling anti clockwise towards the pier where we leave the path and join the road cycling through town back to the campus. A pleasant and flat circular route.

This is the first in a series of 6 progressive rides that will aim to take inexperienced or returning riders on a journey from 5 mile rides towards 10 mile rides. These rides will be at a gentle pace with minimal elevation gradually introducing small inclines with shallow gradients over short distances. Participants must be able to ride their bike as this is not coaching. These are guided rides in a social, welcoming and inclusive environment. This ride will take us on a journey alongside the North Queich towards Burleigh Sands where we will join the Heritage Trail along towards the pier, and back through the town to the campus. The route is mainly traffic free with short sections on quiet roads. Yo7 will enjoy hedgerows, Loch side views and pleasant countryside.

We will cycle on short sections of tarmac roads and generally firm traffic free gravel type paths.

We will stop as needed for riders to have their own drinks and snacks.

Helmets and eye protection are advisable. There are lots of insects around st this time of year. Your bike should be well maintained and in good working order with tyres pumped up. Please bring any tools and a spare inner tube to fit your bike/wheels. Please bring a drink and any snacks you need for yourself. A waterproof jacket is handy as well as an extra layer as the evening cool quickly. Bright colours and hi-viz are helpful.

First-timers welcome!
