Sociable leisure rides for enthusiastic cyclists
An all-day ride starting away from Wantage, so you'll need to either ride or drive out to the start point. The ride will be Blue or Red grade and include lunch and maybe other refreshment stops. The ride should finish by 17:00 (or 30 minutes before sunset during winter months).
Meet in front of the Forest Cafe at Lydiard Park Swindon, SN5 3ND. Parking charge of £4.60 will apply on site but feel free to find your own alternative parking nearby.
The route is relatively short and flat so ideal for anybody who has yet to come out of hibernation. We will have plenty of time to do this ride at a steady pace, so perfect for those wanting to get out now before they get too fat.
We ride out from Lydiard Park, through Wootton Bassett and then along quiet lanes to Calne. Looping back through Lyneham we will stop in the cafe at the REME museum for a salad before heading back to the start.
Summer Tuesday – A Blue or Red grade social ride for five hours (70-90km) starting from Wantage and returning by 15:00. Will usually include a refreshment stop during the ride
A ride out to the community stores in Coln St Aldwyns.
Leaving Wantage along the spring line road we soon drop into the Vale through Uffington and then on to Highworth and Marston Meysey before turning towards Quenington.
The return leg is flat through Lechlade. After we pass the Folly in Faringdon it's a flat run home through the Vale.
The route is slightly longer than usual for Tuesday and will be taken at a pace to accommodate all.
