Starting at Wellington Sports Centre, this will be an easy ride over to the lovely Foxes Den cafe in Binfield. We will go through the Gorrick Woods and Ludgrove, over the level crossing to Montague Park, up Oak Avenue then on to Binfield via Monk's Alley. Our coffee/cake stop will be after 9 miles then we'll come back using the bridge over Berkshire Way (walking across with bikes) ride through Jennett's Park, past Great Hollands Recreation Ground then cross Nine Mile Ride to cycle back through Buckler's Park and Edgcumbe Park to arrive back at Wellington.

A few quiet off-road tracks which are not too muddy at present and the rest of the route is on quiet roads. There are only a couple of short hills so the route is suitable for beginners or ladies returning to cycling (or anyone else who fancies a short, sociable ride.)

You must wear a cycle helmet and please check your bike is in good working order - especially tyres inflated to correct pressures, both brakes working and oil on your chain. Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring with you: a bottle of water, card or cash for payment at the cafe, a spare inner tube for your wheel size and a pump and bike lock if you have them.

First-timers welcome!
