Cycling Opportunities Group for Salisbury (COGS) will once again host its Golden Way Ride as part of the Salisbury International Arts Festival.
The Golden Way was designed by COGS member Howard Piner as a circular route linking all the radial routes approaching the city. The route is seven miles long and is well-marked in both directions by the Golden Way logo and direction arrows. The Golden Way provides cycling options from the suburbs of Salisbury to the City Centre for commuters and to the Sustrans National Cycle Network, National Byway and Wiltshire Cycleway Routes, for those wishing to head into the countryside.
The ride, beginning at the Five Rivers Leisure Centre at 2pm on Sunday, May 28, will be led by Rob Jacobs and Peter Durnan as it passes around the city to show residents safer routes that are either traffic free or have lower numbers of vehicles.
COGS chair Hadrian Cook said: “Cycling is a fantastic way to see our beautiful city and we look forward to leading this ride for residents. COGS are working hard to improve cycling in the city and would encourage our residents to take up cycling as part of active travel e.g. commuting, school travel, shopping, social activities and for leisure.”
