Breeze to Riseley Tea Rooms from Crowthorne for Cream Tea

A sociable afternoon ride to the lovely Riseley Tea Rooms, where we will meet up with 2 other groups of Breeze riders from Wokingham. We aim to arrive at 2.00pm and all enjoy a Cream tea together: warm scones, preserves, clottted cream and a hot beverage. The cost is £12.50 per person - payable on the day.

Starting from Wellington Health and Fitness club, we'll take quiet roads through Crowthorne, ride off-road through the Gorrrick Woods to Evendons Lane/Nash Grove Lane and take the Greenway to California Country Park and Arborfield Green. We'll then ride on country lanes to Farley Hill, Swallowfield and on to Riseley - reaching the tea rooms after 12 miles. Our return journey will include off-road tracks across Bramshill Forest, over New Mill Ford and back along Park Lane through Finchampstead, then back to Crowthorne. It is a fairly easy-going route, with no big hills.

Cycle helmets are compulsory and please bring with you :a bottle of water to drink on the way, card or money to pay for the cream tea (£12.50) and a bike lock if you have one.

Please check your bike the night before, chain oiled, tyres fully inflated (makes it easier!) and always carry a spare inner tube suitable for your tyre size. And a pump which you know fits your valve.

First-timers welcome!
