Why not come along to this leisurely paced cycle along traffic free cycle paths, canal towpaths and a short road ride is approximately  10 miles in total. This bike ride goes along cycle paths/canal towpaths/roads and it is suitable for mountain bikes and hybrids there  are some sections of the canal and bridal paths which may have experienced rain so we might encounter few bumps and puddles along the way. This ride takes along the cycle path towards the Leeds Liverpool Canal, before travelling to Dover Lock along the Leeds Liverpool.  This is a social ride and we will have plenty of rest stops and ALWAYS ride to the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. Helmets are advised to be worn during the ride and also wear suitable clothing taking account of the weather.  It's advisable to bring along an inner tube just in case of punctures as it isn't always easy to fix on the trail with a puncture repair kit. Children are welcome on this ride , however they must be confident of riding on the road and able to complet the distance.  All children must be accompanied by an adult taking part and MUST wear a helmet or will be unable to take part in the ride.  There will be an opportunity to buy a drink and food at the Dover Lock so please bring some money along if you wish to use the cafe.  Please log on www.breezebikerides.com and register on the ride to secure a place Any questions contact Sandra via email: [email protected]    For more information on rides near you please see our North West Facebook pages: Breeze network Wigan
