Guided ride for women offers a 'brief encounter' by bike
Bike ride to Carnforth Railway Station
Lancaster City Council's programme of guided Sunday cycle rides for women continues this weekend (Sunday, June 7) with a 'Brief Encounter by Bike' to Carnforth Railway Station.
The aim of its 'Women on Wheels' rides which have taken place on the first Sunday of each month since March, are to encourage women who might not have the confidence they need to cycle on their own, to get out and about with other like minded ladies.
Following routes included in their Cycling for All Guide, these interesting and relaxing rides suitable for all levels of ability have already taken ladies along the district's prettiest cycle path to the Crook O'Lune as well as to the isolated village of Sunderland.
This Sunday's event is called 'Brief Encounters by Bike', and will take riders along the towpath of Lancaster Canal to Carnforth Railway Station with fine views at several points en route. The ride covers a distance of 11 miles and caters for all levels of ability.
Guided rides are free and pedal off at 11am from the Millennium Bridge, Lancaster.
A full programme of Women on Wheels rides and other cycling events is included in the council's free Rides and Events Guide 2009 available from visitor information centres and town halls in Lancaster and Morecambe and local libraries. Copies can also be downloaded from the cycling website www.celebratingcycling.org/eventsguide.
Alternatively you can send your address details to the Cycling Demonstration Town Team by email to celebratingcycling@lancaster.gov.uk or by telephone - 01524 582392 or 582616.
