Sutton Park Pootle

Meet at Costa Coffee at the Wyndley Centre. Please arrive 15 minutes beforehand to go through a short bike check and to explain the plan for the ride.

For the ride we will stay together as one group and stick to the main paths of Sutton Park. They are all paved, but some might be a little bumpy and have leaves and small twigs. It will be perfect for a hybrid or mountain bike, but not suitable for a road bike with thin tyres. Please make sure you bring a spare inner tube and bicycle lock.

The paths are shared with other park users - children and dogs are likely to be particular hazards. As such we will not be going fast. The rides are about getting more confident on our bikes, practice using gears and having a nice ride away from traffic. Note: some of the paths have short sections shared with cars, but they are generally slow-moving and we can stop to wait for them to pass if we feel it is necessary.

After the ride (approximately 4 miles), we will head back to Costa for tea and cake (bring some money!).

Helmets are strongly encouraged.
