Doodling round Dorcan from Coate Water

A ride almost entirely on cycle paths following one of Swindon three popular 7 miles signed cycling routes. Pick up a copy of the Swindon Cycle Map for all the info but basically we go from Coate Water to GWH, then to Liden, Covingham, Green Bridge, we go close by the County Ground before making our way back to Caote Water along Marlborough Rd

This is one Swindon's very popular "Rounds" approximately 7 miles of flat cycle tracks, some road crossings; once you've done it with us you'll be able to do it again on your own

99% of this route is traffic; a few hundred yards or so is on the residential road by Queens Drive

We will find a nice place to stop about half way so you can refresh yourslef and have a chat

In these difficult times please try and bring a face mask; you will only have to wear it in the event of first aid being required. For all our rides you should bring at least a spare inner tube and a pump. If your wheels are bolted on then a spanner that fits the nuts is also essential. Helmets are not compulsory for adults but most definitely recommended. All children must wear a helmet. You should dress appropriately for the weather, and consider bringing your mobile phone along with credit or debit card for the kiosk at the end (They only take card payment at the moment)

We especially welcome newbies!
