Your chance to discover some of Swindon's lesser know cycle paths and check out how to maprad and orienteer under the guidance of two great ride leaders. You can join in the fun os Swindon Cycle Campain's Spooky orienteering challenge without the worry of getting, shall we say "lost!"

90% on dedicated cycle paths and trails, 10% on light traffic residential roads in North Swindon

No stops planned apart from checking off Orienteering control points but all riders get Hot Choc when returning to the Route 45 Cafe at the Moredon Sports Hub

Children under 16, must be accompanied by an adult and wear a helmet. Adults are strongly recommended to do so. Please bring a spare inner tube for your bike and a pump. Cash or plastic for other refreshments at route 45 Cafe oh and by the way prizes to riders wearing spooky attire or pimped up bicycles
