Family Friendly Fun
Summer 2020 – Sadly due to coronavirus, our summer ride programme is cancelled this year.
If you want to get out on your bike and are looking for some short easy rides on quiet roads and cycle paths, then follow the links below to get a route map and full description of the rides we would have done had things been different. All of these rides start from Dock Park.
- Mavis Grove – 3.5 miles
- Lincluden Abbey – 4 miles
- Crichton Challenge *new!* – 4 miles
- Maxwelltown Path – 6 miles
- Heathall explorer 6 miles+ (depends on how many loops of the skills track you do)
- 12 Apostles – 7 miles
- Glen Road explorer – 8 miles
- Mabie Forest – 11 miles
Please take care on the shared use paths as these are much busier now with walkers and cyclists. Remember that you can only meet up with up to eight people from up to two households outside at the current time, and you are advised not to travel more than five miles to start your bike ride.
If you’re looking for longer rides (still within the local area), then all of the routes we’ve ridden over the past years are listed on our ride routes page.
Is anything known yet about the 2015 Lockerbie Loop? I know this is always a ‘late in the day’ event, but I hope to be in the area and able to ride it. I’ve tried the old Lockerbie Loop gmail address but no success. Many thanks.
Hi Mike, it’s not really anything we’re involved in, but according to the poster we saw on FB it’s on June 21st – if you’re on Facebook it’s posted on our page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cycling-Dumfries/194445097269379
