Back Seat Riders: Croft to the Outlet Village

We meet at The Croft Trail car park, which is off the small roundabout in Pipers Way (B4006) – opposite Nationwide’s HQ building (SN3 1TX). As you enter the site there is a mini roundabout, turn right for the public car-park (please note that parking duration is restricted to two hours at certain times, longer term parking can sometimes be found by turning left at the mini roundabout instead). From there we'll head through Wichelstowe using the cycle paths, past Hargroves bike shop towards the Outlet Centre. We'll lock the bikes up and head in to the semi covered play area, which is right next to a coffee shop. Don't forget your bike locks! The time is based on an average speed of 8mph but we'll go with the pace of the group. We should be able to complete the loop, with a park or tea stop, in just over an hour.
