Calendar

This will be an uplift day and starts at 9.30am, so be there early to get prepped, sign in etc

This is about 1 hour 30 min car drive (from swindon), so if you’re lift sharing allow time for pick ups.

Uplift ticket price is £36, but you can a pedal up ticket for £6.

You will need a helmet – they are compulsory at Bike Park Wales, and  if you are fancying the rocky reds or black runs, a full face helmet is advisable.

Tickets sell out months in advance and you will need to book your own, so get in quick on the link below.

We will head out through Clouts Wood, west of the airfield and up onto Barbury.

Then Smithies and across to Earthline. A ridge ride and descent by the flying club before Chiseldon to coate and back to the Bayberry.

The route will be adjusted to suit a riders and weather conditions.

Estimate 30k distance and 400m ascent.

You will need lights and a helmet.

Leaving the Bayberry we will head up through Coate and Chisie via the flying club to sample the delights of the Sugar Hill climb. Back around Liddington Castle and home via the Old ridgeway and Ladder lane.

There are 2 tough climbs on this ride. Pushing up is of course permitted. 33km distance and 400m of climbing on the route, so a reasonable level of fitness is required. The route may be altered (made easier, not harder!) to suit the riders and weather conditions.

LIGHTS are now a must and as always a helmet.

As the last ladies day at BPW was cancelled due to snow , we are heading back to the lovely Welsh hills for a mixture of push ups for training, pay as you go uplifts and what ever trails we fancy !!! Starting with blue and some reds, with the option for those that are completely mad (Claire!!) to try a black !!!

If anyone can offer to share lifts, then let me know and we can arrange to share the toll costs as well.

We might have a photographer travelling we us too, to take some action shots !!!
