Requirements

You need a reasonable level of fitness to cycle along flat paths, and be able to ride a bike!


What to bring

Please arrive wearing the clothes you intend to cycle in as we have only rudimentary changing facilities.

We have a safe lockable storage space for your bags and valuables.

No specialist clothing is required, but bring a waterproof jacket in case it rains.

You will need to wear a cycle helmet, which we will provide.

And we'll provide Trek mountain bikes!


Itinerary

After a short safety briefing we will head off along the towpath towards Kingston. We will have a short break half way through the trip, and then return to the start point.
