CycleWight has joined forces with Newport High Street Heritage Action Zone to support people who would like to cycle into Newport from Carisbrooke or Gunville, with 3 guided rides planned to introduce the routes.
Working together they have identified a number of cycling greenways that take you on pleasant quiet roads and shared paths.
To showcase these routes Cyclewight has organised 3 guided rides starting in Gunville to take place on the following dates:
- Saturday 26th February at 14:00, starting from the Carpetright Car Park off of Taylor Road
- Sunday 13th March at 10:00, starting from the duck pond in Priory Farm Lane
- Thursday 24th March at 10:00, starting from the Carpetright Car Park off of Taylor Road
These guided rides will not only showcase the routes but provide best practise whilst cycling to maximise your enjoyment and safety.
To enable anyone to participate, CycleWight have made additional arrangements which include:
- – ‘Dr. Bike’ sessions provided by Nick from Island Bike Works to be on-hand for a free bike check and minor repairs.
- – Complimentary cycle hire provided by Wight Cycle Hire if you do not have access to a working bike
If you are interested in going along or would like additional information on these guided rides, contact CycleWight at [email protected] or join the community Facebook Group @carisbrookeandgunvillegreenways to be kept up to date on this community project.
