The Outdoor partnership have teamed up with Pedal Power to offer a fun day out for young carers and their family. 

Nothing is more important than special memories and so we have organised this to be an easy day, just come along and enjoy a park ride that has a bike to suit everyone's needs. There is something for everyone to get out and active and healthy lunch & drink included! There is free parking.

You can check PEDAL POWER website for further information on the venue and BIKES AVAILABLE

Based in a beautiful park, next to a lovely river there is plenty of space to adventure and explore on the Taff trail.

They have a wide variety of bikes available and feel free to bring along your own bike if you feel happier!
