Hop on your bikes this Summer holidays to explore Swindon's cycle paths with a FREE cycle orienteering challenge! Back by popular demand, it's a great chance to enjoy some fresh air and exercise with the family this summer.

There is no set route and you choose how far you want to go. Choose between 1, 2 or 3 hour rides (must be finished by 4pm). Collect orienteering points along the way and hand your points cards in at the checkpoint when you finish - prizes awarded for the three highest scores in each time category.

So come along and join in this free event! You can sign up via the Let's Ride website or just pop along on the day. All you need is a roadworthy bike, but we have volunteers on site to check it's safe to ride. We also recommended that you carry a pump and a spare inner tube or puncture repair kit just in case!

The Richard Jefferies Museum are kindly hosting us as part of their 'Culture and Cream Teas' Sunday open afternoon.There will be cream teas, live music and lots of free activities to get involed in, if you still have some energy after cycling! So come and join us :)
