An all abilities ride completely off-road ride to the Canalside Heritage Centre, Beeston
About this Event

Join us on a gentle and inclusive bike ride from the Embankment along the rivers and canals and back. We will stop for a cuppa in the middle of the ride at the Canalside Heritage Centre (our treat!). We welcome women and non-binary folk of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

This ride is completely flat and is on traffic-free cycle paths. We will go at a very steady pace, with a ride leader guiding the group, and a second guide at the back, so no one will be left behind. The ride will go at the pace of the slowest rider, so is suitable for those that haven't ridden for a while or are still gaining their confidence; we stop for breaks or a snack whenever you want.

You can bring your own bike, or if you need to borrow one, please select the appropriate ticket. If you have any questions, you can contact Emily at Women in Tandem: [email protected] or 07511502741. Please book your place by Friday 28th August if you need to borrow a bike.

MEETING POINT: Victoria Embankment car park, Wilford Grove, NG2 2AA (it is just off Victoria Embankment, next to the children's play area. Click here for a Google pin.

TIME: meet at 12.45, ready to ride at 1pm.
