Nov 23 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Witchel-Wednesday @ Waitrose Swindon | England | United Kingdom
You might have noticed it being a bit moist so far this week, so we’re going to do our Witchelstowe loop this week. 
Starting at the Waitrose car park we will head along the southern flyer, by the canal onto the old railway line round the bottom of Old Town, right to the top, before heading to Croft. After an optional lap there we will proceed back to Waitrose through Witchelstowe along canal and “lakes” (ok, large ponds!).
The ride will be about 9 miles (plus and laps of Croft you want to do) and is nicely suited for beginners.
Meet by the disabled parking at the front of Waitrose at 6pm – you will need lights and a helmet.

BPW Birthday Bash @ BikePark Wales
We are heading to BPW for a big club ride to celebrate a number of birthdays in the club!! We want as many of you to come along and join us as possible.
There will hopefully be a mixture of abilities coming so we can split up into groups to do a variety of graded rides from blues to blacks!
A huge gathering at lunch will set us up for an afternoon of yet more trail fun!
You can either choose to do pay as you go uplifts or buy a day’s uplift pass (see BPW website for details)
Please note….. Helmets are compulsory at BikePark Wales and Full face helmets are advisable.
Meet outside the cafe at 10am.

SMTBE Saunter to the Summer Solstice Sunrise @ The Bayberry
Jun 21 @ 2:30 am – 8:00 am
SMTBE Saunter to the Summer Solstice Sunrise @ The Bayberry

Debbie had this great(!) idea to ride over to Avebury to see the the Summer Solstice sun rise, in order to do this we have undegone the club ride leader training as we’re the only two barmy enough to want to do it at the moment. Excitingly this will be our first event as ride leaders so more than a good enough reason to get out of bed and join us 😀

The plan is nothing more than to cycle to Avebury to see the sunrise and then back (always maintaining a group), the pace will be slow and steady to suit those in attendance and suitable for all abilities and fitness levels. It is approximately 15 miles out and a similar distance back (the exact route will be reccied Thursday 6/6 and once done this event post will be amended to suit so stay tuned for further details).

Due to the start time and off road nature of this route you will need lights, a bike in good working order and of course a helmet. It would also be a good idea to bring water and something to eat, there may be food/coffee for sale there but this isn’t guaranteed.

Sunrise times…

Stonehenge 04h52
