Just because the days are getting shorter, it doesn’t mean you have to stop cycling. Keep riding with our Autumn Series – now open for free booking. These rides are all about getting the best out of the season, perfect for getting out on your bike and warming up on a fresh autumn morning! As ‘challenging’ rides you can expect distances of twenty miles and above, usually with some hills thrown in along the way. You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins to take part, but you’ll need to be fairly fit. This picteuresque 26 mile circular route takes in stunning views Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and surrounding countryside. Starting in Croft we head south meandering through Wroughton and the quaint village of Burdeop and by Chiseldon. The route heads to Osbourne Saint George where the challenge begins with a short ascent up to a great vantage point and the biggest climb of the ride.  From there the route descends gradually down to Alderbourne where the opportunity to rest and replenish at the local village establishment can be taken. The route then heads north up to Wanborough. Meandering down through the tree lined Liddington we circulate around the Hospital, through Coate and back to Croft to our finish point.
