Gardener's Gallivant

Spring has sprung, so put a spring in your step (pedal) and join us for a predominantly traffic free ride along the Ivanhoe Trail to Thornton Garden Centre for a nice cup of tea and a cake.  Then, once you're nicely relaxed, we'll cycle up that monstrous hill and back along the Ivanhoe Trail again!! It's only one serious hill, don't worry! The route is gravel and mud, so you'll need a hybrid or a mountain bike. Bring along a spare tube. The route is a decent length at 8 miles each way, but we'll go steady - we start together and we finish together. More confident riders can have a little run along the trail.  It's a good idea to bring some water and you may also want to bring a snack.  Dress appropriately for the weather: in cool weather it's good to wear lots of thin layers, so you can add/remove them as needed; a rain jacket is a good idea too!  Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.  Look forward to seeing you there.
