For regular adult riders above beginner level.
Very flat ride on mostly quiet roads, cycleways and a little trail, compacted gravel, with a couple of short ramps.
No drop ride, but please make sure know your way home, as wrong turns happen and this route has a lot of them.
This ride goes through the pedestrian tunnel and is suitable for any bike with a bit more tread.

RIDE THE ELEPHANT Big thanks to all test riders, especially to Maria and Anita, also not forgetting Alex Charles who did the original. I only re-planned and tweaked it to make it more rider friendly for my group.
