Tom Scott will be leading a ride this Sunday to welcome in the Spring.
CHANGE OF TIME AND VENUE Due to a 10k race from Barbury Car Park we will be starting at Coate Water Car Park. We will be setting off at 9.30am BST
It’s a 25 mile ride from Coate Water heading off towards Marlborough before turning back and stopping in Avebury (for a brew, apparently) before climbing back up to the Ridgeway and returning back to Barbury.
Paul Allum will be leading this week’s mid-week urban round. Starting from John Lewis car park it will take in the cycle paths and tracks of Swindon for a low-mud spin.
Both FRONT and REAR lights are essential as we will be riding on the road and on unlit pathways.

We’ve got some stock piles of gravel from the previous build day. These will be used to fix various pot holes round the trail.
We’ll also be working on the wood work in the triangle (continuing from last time).
There’s been great progress at the trail over the last few years. See the build diary for details.
An evening/night ride at The Croft Trail. All welcome of any ability level – no one gets left behind on our group rides.
Novice Friendly group starts a few minutes after the main group.
This is a great chance to be given a guided tour of the trails if you’ve never been before and a chance to see the improvements if you have.
Depending on the season then you might need lights. Contact us if you would like to borrow some lights.
Winter (Nov – March)
Proper off-road lights will be necessary, speak to us if you want some advice on how to get into night riding without spending hundreds!
Spring (March – May)/ Autumn (September – October)
It will be light enough to ride the first lap or two without lights.

Regarded by most as a tough ride, unforgiving and technically challenging in parts, the Wentwood 50km Goshawk Challenge is an early season mountain bike XC endurance event that will test every area of your mountain biking skills and fitness…and its all for local charity!
This event sells out so hurry up and enter! Feedback from previous years has been “I said I’ve never do it again”, “definitely a tough challenge”, “great race”.
