Family Cycle Treasure Hunt

Sunday 15th June 2008 10am-4pm (last starting time 2pm)
Bristol & Bath Railway Path, numerous starting points.

Free family cycle treasure hunt with the chance to win a bike. Using the map provided, find clues along the route and mark them on a score card. There are clues for both adults and children.
 
Cycle one of two routes on the Bristol & Bath Railway Path between Staple Hill and Bath. Each route is approximately 5 miles long but if you’d like a better chance of winning or fancy a longer ride, the total route is approximately 10 miles long. Either route will probably take you between 1 and 2 hours. It’s not a race but remember the last start time is 2pm to make sure you are finished by 4pm.

There is a free drink and snack for everyone who takes part and one lucky adult and one lucky child will win a bike. A South Gloucestershire Council event.
