Starting point

CA25 5BS

Phoenix bridge car park alongside the cycle path.

This is a lovely ride down the coast to the beach at Drigg. Part of this ride is on the coastal path from Sellafield to Seascale, so a hybrid or mountain bike is best for this ride. You can try it on a road bike but it can be a bit slippy, windy and bumpy even though they have been working on the route and it is a lot better than it used to be. The ride is slightly longer than normal but it really doesn't feel like the 30 miles as it is mostly flat, with only a couple of minor hills and it is a reasonably easy ride even though the description says it is challenging it isn't really. Depending on the weather we can either have a snack on Drigg beach or come back and eat in Seascale, so bring some money and we can decide on the day. Please bring a snack, a spare inner tube just in case and bring some water for the ride. We prefer that everyone wears a helmet, we always ride at the pace of the slowest person so no-one is left behind and please try to be prepared for our changeable weather and bring the right gear.
