Hop on your bikes to explore Swindon’s cycle paths with a free cycle orienteering challenge! Back by popular demand, we have organised the event to encourage people to explore their local area by bike. With the Swindon cycle orienteering map you can navigate your way around Swindon on traffic-free cycle paths and discover so much more from the saddle of your bike.
As part of a group or as an individual you can choose between 1 or 2 hour rides (last riders leave at 11.30am). Collect orienteering points along the way and hand your points cards in at the checkpoint when you finish – prizes awarded for the three highest scores in each time category.
All you need is a roadworthy bike, but we have volunteers on site to check it’s safe to ride. We also recommended that you carry a pump and a spare inner tube or puncture repair kit just in case!
The Richard Jefferies Museum are kindly hosting the event and will be providing some lovely homemade cakes and refreshments. They’ll be lots on site to enjoy if your legs are tired from cycling. Come along and find out how easy it is to get around Swindon by bike.
We strongly encourage participants to travel to the start by bike. Please note that there is no parking available on the day at the Richard Jefferies Museum. We advise that if you are coming by car to park at the nearby Coate Water County Park (£2.00 per day).
We hope to organise a couple of shorter guided rides taking in some of the local orienteering points so keep an eye on the Let's Ride website to join in!
