Fossedyke Fun, Boats, Birds and a Pub either end!

Sky Ride Local in Lincoln

This ride is a beautiful gentle cycle between two wonderful Inn's that goes along the lovely Fossdyke Navigation on a designated Cycle path with views across fields, waterways and train lines meaning you'll see many different things on your cycle ride from Swans and Herons, to trains, tractors and boats. We'll go over and under bridges and  straight along a lovely flat purpose made canal cycle path.

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour.

Additional Information

Helmets must be worn by all under 18's regardless of ride level.
All ages are welcome. Those under the age of 5 must be in a BSA approved child seat, trailer or tag-a-long.

Please make sure your bike is in good working order, Ride Leaders are there to help but are not responsible for your bike.

All rides leave at the time stated, you must arrive early Ride Leaders will not wait.

• Melanie Carroll Me? Fun, friendly, a bit of a cycle chimp!
  Cycles to work most every day, and loves to cycle even in the rain. In fact loves to cycle in the rain - it's just really fun, but then so is cycling in the sun, or in a gentle breeze but not when it's blowing a gale!
  Short rides are lovely and long rides are a dream, but I'm not a speed racer as I love to enjoy the view with a few stops for pictures and refreshments too :D
  Riding a sit up and beg bike currently but can't pull off that Copenhagen cycle chic they all talk about, probably due to being a bit of a cycle chimp (just ask the mascot on the front of my bike!).
  Used to ride a beautiful old 5 speed drop handlebar sports bike but sadly I got too old and creaky for it after a tumble that damaged my hip but not my enthusiasm.
  I love to cycle and I really hope that I can share that love with lots of other people too, partly why
  I'm also a National Standards (Bikeability) Instructor.
  My day to day cycle commute takes me to my Independent bookshop - Unicorn Tree Books & Crafts in Lincoln Central Market - and I'm as passionate and committed to books, crafts and community as I am to cycling :D
• Ashley Toyne Hi everyone!
  
  I'm Ashley, I've been back on a bike since 2011 not having ridden since being at school.
  
  I started back with a mountain bike due to a coast to coast charity ride I did in 2012, I've since moved onto road riding as well as the occasional mountain bike challenge (Viking Challenge, War Of The Wolds)
  
  I am excited to be a part of Sky Ride and to be able to help people get interested / more confident in their abilities on a bike as I see it to be a great sport in which you can stay in shape and also a fantastic way to socialise too.
  
  I really look forward to seeing some of you on the upcoming rides! Thanks!
