LCT Festival of Movement Linlithgow Canal ride

This ride is one of the activities for the Linlithgow Festival of Movement. It is a flat route, suitable for beginners. Most of the route is on the canal towpath, which has a tarmac surface and there is a short section on a quiet country lane. We will start from the Cycle Circuit at Xcite Linlithgow and there will be an opportunity to cycle around the circuit, to gain some confidence, before we start to cycle along the canal towpath. We will go at a steady pace and no-one will be left behind. We will head for the mile marker near Brightons. You will need a head for heights to walk over the Avon Aquaduct, but it is worth it to enjoy the great views across the valley. On the way back we will ride along a short section of quiet country lane to reach the cafe at Muiravonside Country Park, where we will stop for a short break, before cycling back to the cycle circuit. You are welcome to take your own drinks and snacks. Please wear a helmet if you have one and bring a puncture repair kit, or spare tube, if you have one.
