Official Opening of the Conkers Connect 2 Project

The Connect 2 Project that completes the final link of the Conker's Circuit has now been opened.

A small ceremony took place at the Portrait Bench on NCN (63) at Albert Village Lake with representatives of North West Leicestershire District Council, The National Forest Company and Sustrans.

Photographs were taken by a professional photographer and we hope to use these in due course.  Following the ceremony, a small 7m ride was led by myself on the course linked below:

It was a good opportunity to meet up with Sustrans rangers and staff who I had not previously met and a pleasure to show them our local cycle routes and swap experiences and ideas.  Whilst the weather was not ideal on the ride, it was enjoyed.  Thanks to Keith who came over from Leicester, Ian and Kelly from Nottingham and also to the more usual suspects James, Robert and Alan!

Updates to the blog

We have recently updated the "Key local cycling areas and mapped rides" with a couple of tweaks to routes and more information on some routes.

The Useful information section has been updated with a link to the Leicester Rangers blog.
