Friday social ride to Foxes (Big)

This ride will be weather dependent, I will cancel if it looks like it will be too windy or rainy. Please arrive 15 mins before our ride so we can carry out bike checks etc.

This ride is suitable for all but please note that this ride has more roads than normal.
The route does include traffic free elements as well as quiet lanes, a small section on a busier road and then back to very quiet lanes.

This week we will be riding approximately 12 Miles on the pace of the slowest rider so that it will hopefully encourage those who have not signed up before to come and try.

From Dock Road we will cycle the NCN route 5 to Hawarden Bridge and onto Dragon Bridge. From here we follow the cycle path to Foxes, we do go on one quiet road after the lights crossing but we will take this gently, before turning left up towards the cafe. After the cafe stop we return to the car park via a cycle path, this time heading through the industrial estate towards Toyato and then back onto the greenway to Hawarden Bridge and Dock Road.

Please park considerately in the car park (opposite Yvonne's Cafe - there is additional free parking further along the road). Please note that there is a height barrier.
