Cardiff Cycle Trails Loop

Unfortunately due to Cardiff's lockdown, we can no longer do the original planned route to Sully. This ride is limited to participants from the Cardiff area and we will not cross any county boundaries on the ride.

I've planned a gentle ride instead, starting from the same place (Atradius building in Cardiff Bay), and heading across the river, down towards the marina then picking up the Ely Trail out to Sanatorium Park, follow some quiet roads back towards Bute Park where we can ride around a bit before following the Taff Trail back down to the bay. Just under 12 miles, and pretty much flat.

Please bring lights as sunset is around 19:00, we will be using sheltered paths, and we want everyone to be visible if it's starting to get dark, especially on your way home after the ride.

Remember to bring a drink and a snack as there is no coffee stop planned on this ride. Also please bring spares and tools in case of a puncture, check your bike over before coming, and always wear a helmet!

Any issues on the day, pop a message on the Ride Conversation tab below or on the Cardiff Social Cycling Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1984875485078609/

(2) When booking your place on the ride, please ensure that you have completed all the contact details. We will need these should anyone who is on the ride subsequently become aware of Covid-19 symptoms so that we can follow the guidelines in the ‘Trace, Test and Protect’ program.
