Swindon - Dorcan Round - 8 miler - New for 2016

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They're up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour. This is really gentle route with no hills and perfect for those looking to build your distance. The route is very popular with commuters and is also well used by those new to cycling as a way of stretching their legs. The route is signed in both directions and passes the birthplace of nature writer and novelist Richard Jeffries and follows the route of the old Wilts and Berks canal for a short distance. There are a couple of sections where the NCN R45 goes on the road but in both cases these roads have only very light traffic. Hope you'll join us!
