Join a Family Bike Ride on Traffic-Free Roads (Sky Ride, 10th August)


Recommended Posts

Posted

The SkyRide is a big bike ride on closed, traffic-free roads around Sheffield & a great chance to enjoy a ride with the whole family! It's organised by British Cycling, Sky & Sheffield City Council and is a 5km route on closed roads.

 

The route will be open to ride between 11am & 3pm, but if you want to ride it in a big, friendly group then why not join the Space for Cycling gang who will be riding it together?

The detail -

 

Please register for the SkyRide in advance here, and print out and bring your registration with you. (You will be able to do so on the day, but it will save time if you can do it in advance)

 

It follows a city centre route before heading to Endcliffe Park and back via Ecclesall Road.

 

We will rendezvous in Barker's Pool at 10.30am before heading to the start at Devonshire Green as a group. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult please.

Thanks Paul.

 

It's nice to do things in a group, much more sociable. I'll be cycling much more slowly than normal at this kind of ride, but it's lovely to be able to chat to people and just enjoy the experience.

 

Cheers

Hope to see some of you at the Sky Ride tomorrow! If you've not got a bike then I've just heard that there'll be some free hire bikes available in Tudor Square (first come first served, not got a web link sorry) including for kids. Also Russell's Bike Shed do reasonably priced hire bikes too (http://www.russellsbicycleshed.co.uk/cycle-hire/) but probably best to phone him today as not sure whether he'll be open etc..
