If you're fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour. This steady ride takes us north from the Oasis to pick up part of the popular Haydon Wick Round and via the 17th century farmhouse. We then follow a cycle path to Molden Hill Park and remnants of the old Wilts and Berks Canal and the Railway Path from the now defunct Midland and South West Junction Railway. We branch off into Peatmoor and follow the West Swindon Round to Lydiard, Freshbrook and Toothill and then follow the Western Flyer back to the Start Point. You may find that you discover places or routes that are hidden from the road network and hopefully you'll want to explore further another day. Look forward to seeing you there!
