This is a very pleasant scenic ride along the River Taff and out to Cosmeston Lakes Country Park via Cogan returning through Penarth We will cycle down the Taff Trail to Penarth Marina, and over the Millenium Bridge, past Cogan station and up a gentle hill and connecting to the quiet country lane to the back of Cosmeston Lakes. We'll have a stop there (approx 30 min) for 'bring your own' refreshments (drink/snack), and toilets are also available. Then we'll set off to join the cycle path along the old railway line back to Penarth and the Cardiff Bay Wetlands, returning up the Taff trail to the start. Option to just stop for loos at Cosmeston, and delay the refreshment stop until we get to Cardiff Bay. See the route here https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35710143
We will be cycling on a mixture of traffic free shared cycle paths, quiet roads and country lanes. There are a few short hills, you should be confident with using your gears and cycling in narrow lanes.
There will be a stop at Cosmeston Lakes, toilets available.
We never leave anyone behind :)
