Phil Allum will be leading this Spring ride around North Wiltshire, taking in as much of our glorious countryside as possible. We will be heading towards Aldbourne and using bridleways and byways that we very seldom use. This is a great area for biking and the views around are awesome.
As we will be local, we’ll start at the earlier time of 9am from Barbury Castle (Meet at 8.45). This is a good old fashioned cross country ride; there will be roots and ruts and everything else you expect to find out in the countryside.
This is a longer than usual ride, so please make sure you are happy to do the distance and your bike is up to the challenge. Note that over the 50km route, we’ll climb around 1000m!
Please bring at least a spare tube and anything else you feel you may need – water and food will be essential! We are trying to plan a stop at a shop but this is unconfirmed at this time. This will be updated closer to the date.
Hope to see you there!
I am not a member but I am
Interested in the 50 shades of Wiltshire ride. Do I need to do anything before I attend?
Hi Lizzie,
you are more than welcome to join us on a couple of rides as a guest on a ‘try before you buy’ basis. In terms of attending the event you do not need to pre-register to join us. Turn up on the day, make yourself known to the ride leader. They will ask you to read the sign-in form and then sign-in.
Hope this helps.
Kat
Thanks. Does anyone know the postcode for the meeting point at Barbury Castle please?
