Starting point

LE67 1AN

Main car park Thornton reservoir, Reservoir Road

This is a short 6.6km ride suitable for beginners, or people with health and fitness limitations, needing to rebuild their strength and fitness. The ride is on the surfaced track around the reservoir. We will ride around the reservoir and then return, so the ride is all off road. This is a beautiful location and at this time of year, you'll have the chance to see all types of birds and waterfowl including swans with their cygnets, the ducklings, cormorants, grebes and more...
The track is flat but not always smooth and after heavy rain can be muddy in a few patches too. But the ride is suitable for all types of bike, I ride it on my Brompton. Bring sunglasses to avoid the odd cluster of midges!
The ride will take just under 30 minutes, the pace is slow, at no more than 15km per hour for the safety of walkers and other users.
We can finish the ride at the fishing hut and have a cuppa and snack, and to feed the ducks if you wish!
