1 hours 30 mins  (45 mins cycling)

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.
Come and join us on this gentle ride of some of the Parks and Green spaces in the south of Redbridge.  Starting in Loxford Park we head over to Barking park in the Borough of Barking & Dagenham on suburban roads before making our way back into Redbridge to vist South Park.  There is plenty of time for a drink and breather in all of the parks before we complete the circular route by returning to Loxford Park on quiet roads.  This ride is perfect for anybody wanting to take their cycling skills a little further by including some road riding in a safe group of suburban roads.
