bike-fest around town invites individuals of all ages to 'Cycle Hereford'. Just
bring yourselves and a roadworthy bike to the meeting points below and enjoy the
freedom of the bicycle, good company and fresh air! All rides are FREE and led

Sunday 15 June - ‘Breinton Springs Picnic Ride’ - 2.30pm start
Meet at West Door, Hereford Cathedral. A gentle ride to Breinton
Springs for a picnic by the river, using mostly minor roads with a chance to visit Breinton Church en-route, before returning to the Cathedral. This ride is suitable for children accompanied by an adult. Don’t forget to bring a picnic if you’d like to! We aim to leave Breinton at 4.20 to give us plenty of time to get back to the city.

Tuesday 17 June -’Cross Town Rides’ - 6.30pm start
