The 10k Cycle is an out / back route mainly on a flat rural trail, (with just a couple of small hills to overcome) taking you clockwise from the Bewl Water Cafe to just beyond the 3 mile marker past Rosemary Farm, a quarter of the way around the reservoir.  The cycle commences at approximately 10.00am.  Suitable for families and experienced riders.
