SMTBE First Family Fun Ride @ Three Trees Cafe | United Kingdom

This is our first family fun ride for parents and children to ride together. The ride is suitable for bike trailers and tag alongs as well as children who can ride the distance themselves.

We will start at the Three Trees Cafe in Chiseldon and take the cycle path to Ogbourne St George. We will stop here at the playground for a break and chance for the children to have a play before heading back to the Three Trees Cafe for a drink and well deserved cake for the kids!

The ride is around 3.2 miles and is mostly flat.

We look forward to seeing you and your family on this fun Sunday ride!

Family Fun Ride – Wichelstowe Wander @ Waitrose, Wichelstowe
Aug 13 @ 10:00 am – 12:30 pm
Family Fun Ride - Wichelstowe Wander @ Waitrose, Wichelstowe | Wichelstowe | England | United Kingdom
For our second family ride, we’re going to Wichelstowe.
 
Starting at Waitrose, we go along the Southern flyer and up a bit of the old railway line, before descending to Wichelstowe, where there is a playground to take break. From there we head out to Croft, to do the final section of the trail (which is fairly flat), before heading back to Wichelstowe. We will go along the canal, round the lake and back up to Waitrose (& a cafe stop if desired).
 
Total route is 5.5 miles, or if 3.5 miles if you want to skip the Croft trip and stay at the playground. A great route combining cycle paths and off road riding.
 
The ride will be lead by our Welfare officer, Davinia, who is also a British Cycling qualified ride leader and Breeze champion.
 
Whilst on the ride your children must be accompanied and are your responsibility at all times.
 
Meet outside the front of Waitrose at 10am.

Family Ride: Picnic and Pedals @ Croft Cycle Trail
Sep 9 @ 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Family Ride: Picnic and Pedals @ Croft Cycle Trail | England | United Kingdom

We are basing ourselves at Croft for this family ride, riding lots of different parts of the trail.

It will be a very relaxed and enjoyable afternoon, where you can arrive at anytime after 11am. There will be numerous rides going on throughout the afternoon and you can join in with as many or as few as you like! We will cover a variety of abilities and for all age groups, starting at short rides around the paths of the trail for those that are just starting out, to sectioning areas of the blue trail and for those children that are ‘pros in the making’ we will be heading out on both the blue and red trails.

In between these rides there is chance to come and join us for a picnic lunch and I will bring some fun outdoor games for the children to play whilst they are waiting to ride as well. So why not come along with the family, bring a picnic and have some off-road biking fun!

Please note that you will be responsible for your child/children at all times and will be required to accompany them on all of the rides
