Breakfast on the Wild Side - Ride out for an early breakfast!
Tuesday 15 June 2004
It's National Bike Week. And it's time to get up early, and ride down the river. Join
in with Sustrans' celebration of fresh air, exercise and food.
Come and find us at Hythe riverside path, outside University Hythe Quays.
Sustrans will set up on National Cycle Route One, Wivenhoe Trail.
Follow the riverside path from Hythe Bridge towards Wivenhoe, and the outdoor
kitchen will be set up about a quarter of a mile along the trail. Look out for the Bike
Week Rickshaw that will be coming to our event.
Breakfast cooking and sharing starts at 7:30, ending at 9:30, on Tuesday 15 June.
Bring and share breakfast with others, at the Breakfast on the Wild Side, hosted by
Sustrans.
