点评:What an amazing bike ride. We were warmly met at TCB where we were fitted with helmets and E-bikes. We were then shown how all the functions worked and asked to take a short ride to familiarise ourselves with the gears etc. I repeatedly asked questions and was answered fully with lots of patience. We were then driven to the top of the old Coach bike/walk trail and WOW - it was amazing. The E-bikes were so comfy and very robust meaning we felt safe and confident. The whole 14kms were a delight. We had rain, sunshine and wind and went through some of the most stunning scenery over bridges, a viaduct and twisting and turning around hairpin bends all accompanied by birdsong. It was stunning. My hubby and I are 67 & 65 respectively and not long distance bike riders but we are confident on bikes and thought this was exciting, exhilarating, a little challenging in a fun way and blooming scary going over the viaduct, which you have to cross twice. It took us around 2.5 hours but we were virtually on our own for the majority of it and finished with a hot chocolate/coffee in the Old Railway station vs at the end. A 5 min ride down the road takes you back to where you started. I wouldn’t say it was suitable for children under 8 - and you do need to know how to manage a bike with some of the turns but I would do it again most definitely. E-bikes are the way to go and TCB certainly have quality gear.
