Breeze in the Forest of Dean

This ride is suitable for riders of all abilities, the ride is not a mountain bike ride. We will follow the popular family trail from Cannop Cycle Centre. There is an initial gentle climb as we leave Cannop but soon eases off. The trail is off road and features a hard packed surface.

Around half way round the route we will reach Mallards Pike Lake cafe where we can enjoy some refreshments and see what wildlife we can spot.

The return leg is more traffic free trails through the woods but with a short half mile section of access road where we might meet a car or two. Back at the Cannop Cycle Centre there is a further opportunity for tea and a chat.

We will meet at 10am in the overflow car park at Cannop and aim to be riding by 10:30am.

Please bring a helmet and some money for refreshments.
