What a lovely way to enjoy a Sunday morning, me and my family had a great time and the leaders were very friendly and made the ride safe and enjoyable, we will definitely go again thanks again -
Really lovely ride! Grew up about 3 miles away and had no idea this gorgeous pathway existed. Great way to spend a sunny Sunday morning, cycling with 12 year old son and new cycling buddies! I'll definitely be going again during the summer holidays by myself and have already booked to do this ride again.
