28 miles FBC to Redlands Garden Centre, Church Crookham

Starting at FBC centre Gorse Ride North, Finchampstead, Wokingham RG40 4ES
We will make our way to Eversley Cross, up Coopers Hill (the only steep incline), round the outskirts of Fleet to Crookham village then Redlands Garden Centre. We then make our way back to Crookham village, Hartley Whitney, West Green, Hazeley Bottom, carefully cross Reading Road and up Plough Lane to cross into Bramshill Forest and return to FBC. It's mostly on quiet lanes with a couple of tracks. Care to be taken along the short distance on the A27 and the Reading Road.
The ride is listed as STEADY because of the undulations so unsuitable for those who are just starting out. Please aim to arrive 10 mins before our start time so that we can get under way on time.

Please ensure your bike is in good working order, tyres correctly inflated, brakes working, and chain oiled. Cycle helmets are compulsory. Please also bring a bottle of water, money/card for the coffee stop, spare inner tube, and bike lock if you have one.
