25 miles Cantley to Tin Roof Cafe

Leaving Cantley we make our way over to Barkham Road, along lanes round the back of Barkham Road then onto School Lane up to Arborfield Cross. Here we join the new road, then through Arborfield Green and over to and around the back of Farley Hill. Onto Swallowfield, where we will cross the bridge that has just been damaged by a lorry, but open to cyclists, over to Riseley where we take lanes down to the A33, which we will cross with care.Then to Spencers Wood and to Shinfield for our coffee stop. Our return is a shorter ride through Shinfield Studios, along the cycle ways in Lower Earley, to Shindlesham, Bearwood, Reading Road and back to Cantley.

We will be keeping to lanes and cycle tracks with a very short section of track from the Bearwood Road to Reading Road. There are no big hills on the route, just a few shorter steepish inclines, so, suitable for all ladies.

We will stop about 2/3rd around the route at the Tin Roof Cafe in Shinfield

Helmets are compulsory, please also bring a drink, spare inner tube or 2, bike lock (if you have one) and card/money for the cafe. Please make sure your chain is lubricated, brakes are working and tyres are correctly inflated - makes cycling much easier!

We never leave anyone behind
