An easy downhill through the Innocent tunnel and onto cycle route 1. We then go slowly downhill all the way to the beach where we can enjoy a coffee on the beach. The return leg we will cross the railway on a cycle track to avoid roads and through a quiet residential estate bringing us back onto cycle route 1 again and back through the Innocent tunnel. The return leg is a steady incline hence the description 'steady'. We shall take our time and never leave anyone behind. Any road worthy bike is suitable. We will be mainly on cycle tracks and quiet residential streets. Please wear a helmet and gloves. Bring some cash for a coffee by the beach. First-timers welcome!
The route is mainly on cycle route 1 but with some quiet residential streets.
