Timings:
11:00 – 13:30 (approximately 2.5 hours with stops)
Distance:
2.6 miles / 4.2 km
Suitability:
This ride is suitable for riders of all abilities.
Details:
We will meet next to Victoria Park Children's Play Area at 11am. Join me for a pre-ride coffee if at Jac's Coffee van if you arrive early.
From here we will cycle north-west along local cycle route 14, connecting with the Hawthornvale Path westbound. After a short time on this path we will turn left onto the Goldenacre Path (local route 13) and follow this south until King George V Park. Here we will stop for around an hour to give the kids a chance to enjoy the play park before heading back to Victoria Park along NCR-75, returning for around 1.30pm.
