Following the successful re-launch of the inclusive cycling hub at CSA, Hensingham this summer, Cumberland Council is pleased to announce a third open event on Thursday 31 October between 10am and 12.15pm.
The event is made possible through the support of The Outdoor Partnership, Cyclewise, Cumbria Sports Academy, Wheels for All and some fantastic volunteers.
A range of adapted bikes will be available to offer the opportunity to try cycling on a safe, dedicated circuit and with support.
Booking in advance helps organisers ensure that they have a cycle and helmet for everyone taking part but is not essential. Bookings can be made via Eventbrite.
The inclusive cycling hub is part of the coastal programme funded by the UK Government’s Coastal Communities Fund and Sellafield Ltd’s Six Social Impact multiplied programme. The coastal programme aims to strengthen the coastal destination offer for both residents and visitors and increase sustainable employment opportunities by shining the spotlight on Cumbria’s largely undiscovered stretch of coastline.
Completed elements of the Coastal programme that aim to bring improved infrastructure, art and adventure to the coast are as follows:
- Improvements to cycleways and footpaths at Eskdale Trail Excitement as Eskdale Trail is improved : Lake District National Park and St Bees path
- New activities at Muncaster Castle Play Areas at Muncaster Castle | Yeti Adventure Quarry, Adventure Playground, Enchanted Trail
- Six West Cumbria Tale Trail maps for Whitehaven, Silecroft, Ravenglass, St Bees, Seascale and Haverigg Story Maps and Walks Exploring Heritage, Wildlife & Folkore (taletrails.co.uk)
- Silecroft beach café
- Public art installations at Whitehaven, Seascale, Silecroft and Millom
