FBC to Silchester

Starting on pathways through California Park to Arborfield, we join the Hall Farm cyclepath to Shinfield, then drop downhill to Three Mile Cross. To Grazeley Green next, then via Wokefield Park to Mortimer. An undulating couple of miles follow, downhill on Turks Lane to a short climb back up to Silchester, to head downhill once more passing Silchester church. A loop around to Silchester cricket pitch where our coffee stop is in the Pavilion at 19 miles. Around the walls of Silchester, and our route continues to Beech Hill, across the A33 to Swallowfield. Just one final climb over Farley Hill and back to FBC on Nine Mile Ride.

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.
