Curiosity Ride - Afternoon Amble on the Cairn - Cluden circuit
Advertisement
This 18 mile ride takes us up the tributary of the Nith, the Cluden which becomes the Cairn upstream before crossing over and coming back down the other bank to Irongray church.
As with all our Curiosity Rides the emphasis is on enjoying the ride and meeting people, rather than speed and endurance – we go ‘at the speed of chat’ and we welcome all types of cycles including e-bikes and trikes.
Here’s the planned route https://cycle.travel/map/journey/893841 (although the ride leader may vary the exact route depending on the conditions on the day and the wishes of the participants).
There's no planned cafe stop mid ride, so suggest people bring food to sustain them and we’ll take a break somewhere suitable for people to refuel. This will be outdoors – so dress not just for the cycling but also make sure you will be warm enough when we stop, or perhaps bring a couple of warmer layers to put on.
Rides continue regardless of the weather, unless in the opinion of the ride leader it would be dangerous (or no fun), so bring a waterproof and whatever you need to stay warm on (and off) the bike.
There’s no need to book but if you use Facebook you can sign up for the event via our Facebook page. If you’ve any questions or aren’t sure if this ride is suitable then email us ([email protected]).
You don’t need to be a member to come on a ride, but if you attend regularly (three or more a year) we ask you to join, to ensure you are covered by our insurance. Your membership also supports our year round work – prices start from just £5 per year.
