Let's Ride the Canal 11 miler (8yrs+)

An 11 mile 'out and back' easygoing ride along the Coventry canal towpath from the canal basin in St Nicholas Street to Hawkesbury Junction our halfway turning point. This ride is in partnership with the Canal and River Trust to help promote the canal network, and they have kindly provided FREE refreshments for all participants! This ride is ideal for beginners, families or those who have discovered or rediscovered the joy of riding a bike recently, but please note although this is a flat 'easygoing' ride, the towpath is quite narrow in parts and will require riders to be confident in handling their bike - as such it is not suitable for very young children unless in child seats or tag-alongs.
For those who haven't ridden with us before, be assured that we ride at a pace to suit everyone - it's certainly not a race and we'll stop to rest weary legs if needs be. There will be options to take refreshments on board at either Hawkesbury Junction or back at the basin at Playwright's cafe (coffee and bacon sandwiches highly recommended...).
Although helmets are not compulsory (except for those under 18yrs old), we strongly recommend wearing one due to some low bridges along the way! Please ensure your bike is in roadworthy condition and you'll also need to bring a spare inner tube and pump in case of a puncture and dress according to the weather on the day.
