Midweek Meander - Heathhall Forest Explorer
Advertisement
Join us for our third monthly midweek meander as we head eastwards on a 6 mile ride to Heathhall Forest along cycle ways, residential streets and forest tracks. Depending how many loops in the forest, the ride distance could be longer.
As with all our 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/965502 (although the ride leader may vary the exact route depending on the conditions on the day and the wishes of the participants).
We'll have a break when we arrive in the forest – 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. Bike lights are also a good idea in case we get caught in the dark or it’s gloomy weather. Water and snacks are also recommended.
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.
