How about joining a guided Ride that start live on local radio. We've teamed up with Swindon's 24 hr community radio station Swindon 105.5 for the start of this ride at their studios next to Liden library at the end of Barrington Road

Most of this route is on traffic free cycle paths or trails. There is some short bits on quiet or residential roads

The coffee stop will be Roves Farm, which we will access via Nightingale Woods. We will leave Roves Farm to complete a circuit of the woods before joining our main route back

Please 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 but most definitely recommended. You should dress appropriately for the weather, and consider bringing your mobile phone . Roves farm are only accepting card payments at the moment

We especially welcome newbies!
