Cycle to Cricklade

From the Orbital car park we cycle out along a bus gate road then on estate roads towards the dual carriageway of Thamesdown Way. We join the cycle path alongside Thamesdown Way we cross this dual carriageway at a busy junction with lights joining National Cycle route 45. We continue on the 45 crossing 3 junctions, before diverting off the 45 through other paths and quiet estate roads to rejoin the 45 for a short section to the Blunsdon railway bridge traffic lights. After the lights there is another short section of road before we turn right into a closed road. After about 1.5 miles we leave the 45 and ride on quiet roads to ride into Cricklade, riding through the town until we reach the north end of the town. We’ll stop here for refreshments, before returning back through Cricklade heading south and then rejoining the same route that we took riding out.
