\\nThe May MTB Wellness Ride is great scenic and fun route out past Barbury\, through the Vale of Rockley and b ack via the old railway line.
\nA similar distance to the April ride
\, the loop is 27km and 270m of climbing.
\nWe start at the Three Tre
es Cafe and ride out on the Ridgeway\, up the side of Barbury Castle and c
ontinue along the Ridgeway to the top of Hackpen Hill.
\nWith the bul
k of the climbing out of the way\, we will descend through the Vale of Roc
kley\, which has a great entry descent and normally lots of Red Kites over
head in the sheltered valley. There’s an option to pop up into the woods o
f Rockley for the small drops\, or just to take 5 and enjoy the scenery.\nFrom Rockley we start the climb at the beginning of Four Mile Clump\
, but quickly turn right for a long fireroad descent to Ogbourne Maizey\,
before picking up the old railway line back to the Three Trees for post ri
de cake!
As always the ride is based around taking in the great vi ews and having a good time.
\nThere is a free car park next to the T hree Trees\, as well as the cafe car park.
\nWe will ride out from t he Three Trees car park at 10.30am
\nI will be there before that if you’ve got any questions about your bike\, riding or the ride – I am a MIA S Level 3 leader and coach and cytech technician too.

last year\, but given everything that’s still going on\, we’re going to d

\nThis is a great route showcasing some of t

c descents and a beach 🙂
\nWe start at Porlock and head out up toward

ave been held for several years. After a choice of technical or loose desc

\nFrom
there we’re off to the fun steep tracks of Horner Woods\, before returnin

This is further out on the Ridgeway from where we will drop down into the beautiful Vale of Rockley. A short sharp climb takes us to the top of a byway down to Ogbourne Maisey and then home along the old railway line cycle route.\n\nMeet in the 3 Tr ees Car park at 10am.\nPlease note the 3 Trees have recently introduced ch arges for their car park. However there is a small public car park next to it and some in road parking too.
