TPT Old Moor to Elsecar Mums' and Kids' Ride

This is an enjoyable ride along the Trans Pennine Trail from RSPB Old Moor to Elsecar Heritage Centre. This is a traffic-free route, except for a few unavoidable road crossings. We'll take it nice and easy, and when we reach Elsecar there are picnic benches where we can sit and have a snack and a chat! Bring your own picnic along or there's a lovely cafe called The Pantry. We will be riding back to Old Moor, and if you want to ride back with us too you will need to register for the return ride separately! You should be able to find it listed in the same place as this ride. Alternatively you can arrange your own transport back. We thought we would split the return journey in two to give people the option of doing the whole ride or just one-way! Why not spend some time at RSPB Old Moor? Scroll down to see what's on! Some of the route is a hard surface; some is a bit looser and possibly a little muddy depending on recent rainfall. It's also pretty flat. Most bikes would be suitable, but maybe not anything with very narrow tyres! Children will need to be able to ride unassisted without stabilisers and MUST wear a helmet. It’s a good idea to bring some water, snack to keep you going and money for if we stop at a cafe. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.  We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. Look forward to seeing you there.
