Armed with panniers and trailers (if we need them), we'll make our way through the countryside on the back roads to Carnforth. Then after an hour for shopping and refreshment (you choose!), we'll load up and head back home, making a pleasant, social outing out of what could have been a weekly chore. Young children welcome. We can lend panniers, trailers, tag-alongs, bikes and bike seats on request. You could even ride tandem if you fancy trying something different. Give us a call for details.
