FBC to Swallowfield via Grazeley

Only very gentle hills on this 25 mile route starting Finchampstead. Using cyclepaths initially, to Observer Way Arborfield, we join the main road for about a mile to Shinfield, then back onto cyclepaths and quiet lanes as we cross to Ryeish Green then over the A33 to Grazeley Green. A mix of roads now as we head to Stratfield Mortimer and Beech Hill, arriving in Swallowfield at 17 miles. Our coffee stop is at Swallowfield Village Hall, which offers a cafe stop on Wednesdays. Refreshed, we will enjoy the flat miles of Ford Lane, a short section of Bramshill Road, and then over Eversley Ford back to head back to Finchampstead.

Cycle helmets are compulsory. Please check your bike the night before, chain oiled, tyres fully inflated (makes it easier!), and always carry a spare inner tube suitable for your tyre size. And preferable two! And a pump which you know fits your valve.
