Route will be about 10 miles, although options to go further if everyone feels like it.

Back to Nightingale Woods for this Ladies Leisure Ride, this time via the tracks and bridleways.

After a summer break, Ladies Leisure Rides Returns!

Meeting just outside Waitrose , Witchelstowe at 10.30am, we will take a leisurely ride along the Old Railway cycle path along the bottom of Old Town . There is an option of a short 3 1/2 mile loop or a longer 7 mile loop with a lap of Croft , depending on what everyone would like to do. I’m happy to tailor the ride to suit you ladies!
This is entirely ladies only (excuse my hubby photo-bombing in the pic above , he won’t be making an appearance!) and perfect for beginners.

Really excited to welcome new ladies to my leisure rides , so what’s stopping you !! Come and enjoy a ride with cake and coffee afterwards, along with a good old girlie natter!!

See you there ladies – oh and don’t forget your MyWaitrose card for free coffee!

Wednesdays are one of our #getintoMTB events, designed to help people get started, get back into MTB or anyone wanting a shorter, flatter ride. But there’s plenty of fun for all abilities.

The evening will be split into two parts:

6-7pm will be a Croft trail ride, laps of the trail (sessioning some of the features along the way)

7pm-8pm will be a local, fairly flat route, less than 10km in total.
PLEASE LET US KNOW BY POSTING BELOW IF YOU INTEND ONLY ATTENDING THE 7PM RIDE, so that we know to wait for you, as we leave promptly.

Under 18’s are allowed on this ride unaccompanied, as long as you have been out with us before. If you haven’t and wish to come, please drop an email to welfare@swindonmtbenthusiasts.co.uk so we can let you know the process for signing up to these rides.

As with all our rides, Helmets are compulsory.

Meet in the Croft Trail car park for both rides
