“A 10 mile City Streets and Park Life ride”

Start From: Forecourt in front of Barking Station,
Station Parade, Longbridge Road IG11 8TU

Join us on this gentle 10 mile ride that really shows all the great things about Barking and Dagenham borough.  Perfect for riders who want a bit more confidence on the road, or would just like to see the parks of Barking and Dagenham. The route takes in a large part of wonderful newly created cycling infrastructure in the borough as well as some of the major parks in the Borough.  Along the way we will pass through Mayesbrook, Parsloes and Goodmayes Parks to name just a few as well as stopping off for a breather and to take in some of the beautiful lakes the parks have to offer.  If exploring your local area by bike is your thing then this ride is not to be missed! Easy to get to by train, right outside Barking Station.
