FBC to the Stables Cafe at Buckler's Forest (via Sandhurst)

From the FBC centre, this route will take us up White Horse Lane, past Finchampstead Church and along the Ridges to Crowthorne. We will then ride through Wellington College grounds and on the cycleway to Sandhurst, passing through Snaprails Park before going uphill through Owlsmoor, crossing the bypass to Broadmoor Meadows and then up the big (but short) hill to Broadmoor. Then a big downhill and we'll head to Buckler's Forest where we can ride a couple of miles on trails to the old TRL Banked Curve. We will then stop for a well-earned coffee break at the new Stables Cafe at Bucklers Park.

It is 12 miles to our coffee stop, then an easy 5 miles back to FBC via Heath Ride/Windsor Ride. We will mainly be riding on roads and paved cycleways, but also a couple of miles on unsurfaced trails in the forest (so this may not be suitable for road bikes with skinny tyres.)

You must please wear a cycle helmet. Please also bring cash or card for payment at the cafe, a bottle of water and a bike lock if you have one. Please check your bike before coming out - especially tyres inflated correctly, both brakes working and oil on the chain. You should also carry a spare inner tube suitable for your wheel size.

We never leave anyone behind
