Easy Ride - Blackberries & Picnic

JOIN us for a an Easy Ride to Skelton Lake this coming Saturday morning!

STEPS - On the way we will visit the controversial steps which are currently an obstacle on the Leeds to Castleford cycle route.  It has been one of our campaign aims for a while now to try to find a solution to the current situation of steep steps and muddy path.  Come and speak to us and give us your views!

BLACKBERRIES / PICNIC - We will do our annual Easy Ride blackberry picking today - we will look for them around the edge of the lake - please bring some containers for them!  Also it would be great to bring things for a picnic, although we will sit near the shops so you can buy things there too.

The purpose of our Easy Rides is to encourage those new to or returning to cycling to become more confident on the streets around Leeds.  We use quiet streets and cycle paths and proceed at a leisurely pace.  No special sports clothes needed!  We travel a short distance and we hope we are helpful and friendly.
