Now that we're out of the heat waves, let's finally enjoy the summer with a group bike ride along the Canal du Midi!
We’ll cycle from the Toulouse Matabiau train station to Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds (31620) and back (about 2 × 24 km).
Halfway, we’ll stop for a picnic by the canal, relax, and then you have a choice:
Either return to Toulouse with us, or take the train back from the Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds train station 🙂
(Please note that you have to book a place for your bike in the train in advance, but it's free)
When: Sunday, August 29 – Departure from Toulouse Matabiau at 11:00 AM, back around 4 to 5:00 PM (depending on our pace and breaks)
Distance and pace: About 50 km in total, or 25km if you take the train back. This is a relaxed ride, not a race!
Beginner-friendly: The focus is on enjoying nature and good company. If you feel that Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds might be too much, don't worry, there are train stations all along the canal!
What you’ll need: Be comfortable cycling at a calm pace, and make sure your bike is in good enough condition for the distance. Bring enough water, food for the picnic, and anything you need to stay comfortable 🚴♀️
Two more informations:
If you don't have a bike: You can rent one at a few places in Toulouse, including (but not limited to) the Maison du Vélo
The weather is not yet certain: The forecast for now is perfect, but we might have to cancel in case of rain or strong winds
(Please note: This is a friendly hangout, everyone rides at their own responsibility, so please be responsible 😄)
