What is ParkRide?
ParkRide is a pilot project aimed at getting more people riding bikes on car free gravel trails amongst nature in our National Park. Participants can choose to do a 10km or 20km loop, following our Gravelfoyle way-markers. We will also include a ‘sweeper’ rider who will ride behind the last rider. If you are nervous about mechanicals or punctures, our sweeper will support you and ensure you get back to base safely. ParkRide is free to participate in.
Who can participate?
Park Ride is for anyone! As long as you have a bike suitable for off-road and a helmet, you can get involved. If you are very new to riding, we recommend that you try the 10km to begin with. As you gain confidence, you can step up to try the 20km route. If you have children who you are confident can complete the distance, they can ride with you. You can also ride with a trailer or a childrens ‘shotgun’ set-up.
Bairns on Bikes will run at the same time for children aged 5-12. You can drop them in while you ride for a free coaching session.
