John Crocker is leading this totally novice friendly ride. It will start from Coate Water at 9.00am, earlier than usual so as (hopefully) not to intrude into the afternoon. We will head up to Chiseldon and on to Marlborough along the old railway track. There will then be some road work to Rockley. From there

Photos from an evening ride with Marlborough bike shop Bertie Maffoons. We covered 17 miles round Savernake Forest in just over 2 hours. There’s a lot more trail in there than you might expect. Definitely the best sections were the slightly downhill swoopy bits. We’ll be back for more soon. Keep an eye on the
