Greenham Common to Watership Down

We will meet at Greenham Common and then head south on quiet country roads and bridleways out towards Sandham Memorial and then on down towards Old Burghclere before taking a bridle path up to Watership Down. This is a long climb, but the reward at the top is some fantastic views across Berkshire. From here we'll take Wayfarer's Walk and then take the old disused railway line back to Burghclere, with a pit stop for refreshments before continuing back to Greenham Common. This is an ideal ride to get back into cycling in 2013 with some off-road along well-maintained bridle paths as well as some on-road riding. The pace will be easy and the biggest climb is off-road and easy to walk up if necessary. It’s a good idea to bring some water, snack to keep you going and money for if we stop at a cafe. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.  We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. Look forward to seeing you there.
