About the route

Starting point




Berkshire
RG19 8DB

This is a short and easy traffic free ride. Ideal for those new to Breeze rides and children are welcome to join if they are accompanied. The focus is on the fun and social side of cycling - you might want to stop for a coffee and chat at the Control Tower Cafe after the ride
.
Greenham Common is a beautiful spot for an easy ride. Packed with wildlife and steeped in Cold War history. More recently, the bunkers were used in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie.

The surface is hard-packed gravel and the terrain is relatively flat.

We will do a figure of 8 loop around the main trail.
