Ride around the racecourse

We meet at the children's playground near the main car park for the race course. From there we ride 2 laps of the race course (each lap is 2.5 miles) which is mainly flat apart from the last couple of furlongs which do ascend a little. The surface is a mix of both hard standing and grassed clearings and either a hybrid or mountain bike would be ideal. This is a ride completely off road and would suit beginners or riders who like traffic-free riding in a safe environment, taking in the peaceful and pleasant surroundings of Pontefract Park and racecourse. The evening version of this ride may only be 1 lap (depending on time of year/dark night etc.)
