Lochgilphead Road Confidence Session

We will be meeting at MacPool and talking about the route planned for the evening. There will be a short opportunity to practice some of the skills we are going to need riding around a quiet housing estate, before heading into Lochgilphead to ride a loop past the Co-Op, down the Main street and along the loch front before returning to the canal. We will be talking you through each section and giving you plenty of time for feedback and to review after each lap. The evening is planned to give confidence to riders who may not be 100% comfortable riding around traffic or in town.

An opportunity to ride through Lochgilphead Town Centre on quiet roads to improve confidence navigating junctions and roundabouts. Very slow pace focussing on breaking down the route into small sections.

The route will use both sections of the canal and quiet main roads through Lochgilphead Town Centre which are well surfaced and suitable for all bikes.

We will stop on the canal after each lap to talk about the ride so far, and we will be visiting the Argyll Cafe for chips afterwards! There are facilities and parking at the MacPool.

Helmets are advised, and hi-viz would be suggested if you have it. Please check the weather forecast and ensure you have appropriate clothing.

We especially welcome newbies!
