An easy-going Xmas family fun bike ride around North Swindon, featuring an introduction to the Swindon Orienteering Points. Come and join a great team of experienced ride leaders, as they attempt to find the designated orienteering points on the route. Can't guarantee we will find them all, but we will have fun trying to! As its Xmas, feel free to spruce up you bike and yourself with a bit of tinsel etc.
We will leave the Moredon Sports hub at 12:00hrs (plenty of free parking and facilities), traveling up through Moredon via cycle routes and quiet / traffic free roads. We will then discover the extensive cycle paths network around north Swindon, looking for some of the cycle orienteering points located around the area, courtesy of Swindon Borough Council.
