Starting Point & Postcode
The Pavillion, Victoria Park, London Road LE1 7RY
Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
1 hours 45 mins  (1 hours 5 mins cycling)
Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.

This route is ideal for families. Setting out on this circular route from Victoria Park using the cycle paths, enjoy the ride through the city to Great Central Way and back through the charming shopping district of Clarendon Park.

Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Maryam Amatullah Maryam Amatullah I've always enjoyed cycling from a very young age. It's a great way to get out in the fresh air, admire scenery, exercise, and have fun! It doesn't take long to reach Leicestershire's beautiful countryside.
    Encouraging cycling through led rides is something I do on a regular basis in my role as a Cycling Instructor. It's a fantastic way to explore the local environment, socialise, and simply enjoy cycling.
  • Mike Ball Mike Ball Have been cycling for many years both as an all weathers commuter and a member of the Leicester Spokes cycling (http://www.leicesterspokes.org.uk) group. I particularly enjoy cycle touring in Scotland and Europe, and longer rides such as our annual overnight ride from London to Leicester. My ambitions are to cycle across the USA and China, perhaps all the way around the world? I try to use my bike for most trips and want to encourage people to look on bike travel as everyday transport, not just something for the weekend. I look forward to meeting you on a ride.
