FBC to South Hill Park & Jennetts Park (via Crowthorne)

Avoiding muddy tracks and flooded roads, this route will be on roads to Crowthorne (where we can pick up anyone who would prefer a shorter ride?) and then on cycleways passing through lots of Bracknell parks. We'll start with an uphill stretch on White Horse Lane to Finchampstead Church, then it's all easy going along the Ridges to Crowthorne, through Buckler's Park and on to Bracknell cycleways. We have the choice of stopping at South Hill Park for coffee or riding a couple of miles further to try Jay's Corner cafe at Jennetts Park. Our return journey is also on cycleways, back through Buckler's Park, then returning to Finchampstead along Roman Ride/Heath Ride. The route is all fairly flat (apart from the 1 hill near the beginning) and we won't be riding too fast.

Cycle helmets are compulsory and please also bring: a drink, card/money or card for payment at the cafe, a spare inner tube to fit your bike and a pump and bike lock if you have them. Please check that your tyres are correctly inflated, both brakes are working and your chain is oiled.

Please message me via the conversation tab on Let's Ride if you want to start/finish at Crowthorne. We can meet you at Wellington Sports Club, RG45 7PT - which would make it a 14 mile return trip - or elsewhere in Crowthorne by arrangement!

First-timers welcome!
