A nice easy ride from Splott Park (Hub) car park to Cardiff Bay.
We will cycle along shared cycle and pedestrian paths, with a couple of short stretches on quiet roads, going via the Cardiff feeder canal and docks before reaching Cardiff Bay, the Senedd and Millenium centre, before returning to Splott Park. The route is mostly flat, with one repeated gentle short gradient.
It is tarmac all of the way and is suitable for all bikes.
Will we stop en route for the odd breather, then stop (~20-30 mins) in front of the Millenium centre, where there is a small supermarket if anyone needs to buy refreshments. We usually take a group photos (optional) along the route. There are toilets at Splott Park.
Please bring some money if you would like to buy refreshments. It is recommended to wear a helmet, also bring a spare inner tube if you have one, and a bike lock.
