week 6 - Couch to 100km Challenge 2026

Please arrive at the Moredon Sports Hub in time for the groups to leave at 09:00hrs

Week 6 will see us return to our usual ‘out’ route via Ridgeway Farm and up to the Lego Bricks. We will then complete a loop via Chelworth and Ashton Keynes where we will then cross the A419. We will then cycle around Fairford, where our café this week is Magic Beans at 21 miles.

Our return route takes us past the RAF Fairford, and then on to Cricklade.
The ride is 36.4 miles in total ( 58.6km in new money). The route is ideal for those who have missed some rides as it is very flat and we have some great weather forecasted.

We welcome anyone to join and ride with us, whether this is your first time or someone who has participated on previous rides. We will never leave anyone behind. Riders who have missed previous rides / weeks are always welcome to join this weeks ride. All we ask is that new riders arrive approximately 20 minutes before scheduled start time.

**** Please note that the challenge is now at week 6, where the distance is circa 60km (37miles) , which a approximately 3-4 hours of cycling. If you are totally new to cycling, this ride may not be the most suitable for you. Please reach out to us using the message system. We regularly host shorter rides, details of which are available via the Lets Ride web site

Please bring a bottle for your bike with your favourite thirst quencher and snacks to keep you going. For all your rides we recommend that you bring a spare inner tube that is suitable for your bike, plus a pump. We request that all riders wear a cycle helmet (compulsory for children). If your wheels are bolted on, then please bring a spanner that fits your bike’s wheel nuts.
