Swindon Easter Cycle Orienteering

This is NOT a guided ride but an opportunity for you (and your friends and family) to explore some of Swindon's extensive cycle path network. Our brand new Swindon cycling map will show over 35 checkpoint that we have put out on, or very near, cycle paths around the borough. You can choose to ride for 1, 2 or 3 hours so long as you finish by 3 pm and find as many of these as possible. Each check point found wins you points so try and get as many points as possible. If you are not sure how good your map reading is we have created and sign posted a simple 7 mile route for you. You can practice your map reading by finding the checkpoints on this route. Did we says it's FREE to enter. The registration opens at 9 am, first start time is 10 am, you can start any time between 10 am and noon. Riders are advised to wear a well fitting cycling helmet.
