March
• Saturday 13th - Cycle Ride on Comber Greenway

Starting Point: Ravenscroft Avenue Public Car Park (behind the Carpet shop at the Holywood Arches on the Newtownards Road).

Starting Time: 11:00 a.m.

Distance: 14 miles return journey.

Expected return: 2:00 p.m.

Equipment: Other than your bicycle, you should wrap up warm, bring a water proof coat, some water for the journey, and, if you want, some refreshments for when you reach Comber.

For our first event in March we are doing something a little different and having a cycle along the Comber Greenway. This event is weather dependant, so let’s hope for a nice dry, crisp, March day.

The Comber Greenway is a tranquil green corridor through East Belfast with points of interest along the way. The path will provide views of Harland & Wolff Cranes, Parliament Buildings at Stormont and the Belfast Hills. At the Comber Road, the path cuts through a rural landscape alongside the Enler River and the Billy Neill (MBE) Soccer Centre of Excellence, with views of Scrabo Tower. Eventually bringing you to the rural town centre of Comber, situated close to Strandford Lough. The most remarkable feature of the Greenway is the feeling of rural escape from urban bustle.

The Comber Greenway is a 7 mile traffic-free section of the National Cycle Network running from Belfast to Comber along the old railway line which closed in 1950. Although the pathway is off road, there are junctions where the pathway crosses main intersections.

I anticipate we will require an hour to reach Comber. We can then have a short rest in Comber (30 – 45 mins depending on weather) for a cup of tea. There are several coffee shops and cafes in Comber or you can bring your own refreshments with you. I would advise that you bring a bottle of water to drink along the journey.
