Windsor Great Park and Riverside

From Bishopsgate, we will do a loop round the polo ground and past Obelisk Pond, before crossing to Cranborne park and taking the trail along past Queen Mary's plantation into Windsor town. After a ride through the town centre round past Windsor Castle, we will come along the riverside for a well earned rest stop at the park cafe. Once refreshed, we will head back through Cranborne Park to the Great Park, this time riding through the Deer Park to return to Bishopsgate. This ride is mostly flat, with a few gentle inclines, and mostly free of road traffic apart for Windsor town center. We will stop for breathers as needed :) It is not recommended for road bikes as the trail is gritty and uneven. There is ample free car parking at the side of Bishopsgate road. It will be a good idea to bring with you: a drink of some sort; some money for the café stop; a bike lock; a spare inner tube for your bike, if you can; and a waterproof. Hopefully if you bring the latter two things, you will need neither.
