Routes and Roots competition

The Maritime Heritage Trail takes riders on a journey of discovery through Belfast. Developed as part of Cycling UK’s Routes and Roots project, the trail connects the communities of East Belfast and Sailortown, and highlights how industries of the past shaped places and people. It's a perfect family-friendly route, much of it using off-road cycling infrastructure, and is around four miles in length.

We’ve got a rear light from See.Sense (worth £44.99) to give away for our favourite photo taken on the route.

How to enter

Ride the Maritime Heritage Trail and post a photograph from your ride on Twitter by 31 July, using the hashtag #RoutesAndRoots. Make sure you are following the Cycling UK Northern Ireland Twitter account @CyclingUK_NI.

We look forward to seeing your photos!
