The first loop on the really pretty easy access trail will pass through areas of conifer, oak and beech. The second longer loop will start on the family cycle trail to the beautiful lodge pond and then back past some of the large play structures. We will take both loops at a relaxed pace and will ensure we stay together as a group.

This ride is suitable for beginners or anyone who has not ridden a bike for a while. After a short session ensuring everyone knows how to use their gears and brakes we will do a short flat loop from the forest centre. Once back at the centre we will continue towards the pond for a longer loop that has a few hills!

We will always be riding on the forest tracks. The paths can get quite narrow on the first loop so we will have to be careful to give way to other path users. The second loop will use wider paths.

We will stop at the centre in between the loops to make sure everyone is happy to continue. There is a cafe at the forest centre which we can all visit at the end of the ride.

All riders must wear a helmet and we advise everyone to bring a bottle of water. You should also ensure that you have a spare inner tube that fits your tyres.

We especially welcome newbies!
