About this event

Sports & Fitness • Cycling

Come join us for a spooktacular bike ride setting off from behind Giraffe House, in Burgess Park. Get into the Halloween spirit by dressing up in your costume and decorating your bikes. This event is perfect for riders of all ages who can ride for up to 15km/10 miles and start, stop and make the bike go where they want it to. This is a ride for beginners and we will have a 20-30 min break in the middle of the ride.

We will enjoy a leisurely ride through Burgess Park and other green spaces, taking in the autumn scenery. We will update this page with the exact route closer to the time.

We have some child and adult bikes and helmets available to borrow. These will be allocated first come, first served on the day. Bikes cannot be reserved in advance. If you have your own bike, please bring it.
