Cantley to Binfield Heath via Sonning Common

I’d love to encourage ladies to get beyond Sonning, and this ride is a great introduction to that. The majority of the ride is flat, starting with riding through Dinton Pastures to the Aviation Museum. Still flat through Sonning. Our first climb is on a cyclepath at 11 miles, to Emmer Green, and is gradual apart from one section which lasts about 30 seconds. You can do this! The second proper climb after 17 miles, is very gradual and gets us to coffee at The Barn at the Binfield Heath. That's all the climbing done, and all downhill back to Sonning, and a different route back via Woodley and through Dinton.

Coffee stop at The Barn at Bottle and Glass pub Binfield Heath

Cycle helmets are compulsory. 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 preferable two! And a pump which you know fits your valve.
