We’re at Croft on Wednesday evening as usual, for some laps of the trail, which has a different feel in the dark! (don’t worry, it’s good fun! 😊 )

You will need a helmet and lights – it gets very dark in those trees.

Meet in the Croft car park at 5.30pm

We’ve been off on hols for a few weeks, so before things get back to normal, we’re going to make this one a bit of a bash!

We are going to be begin with a family ride, doing laps of the trail. So bring your kids (who remain your responsibility at all times) and we will be going round from 4.30 for about an hour.

After that we move on to the regular style session,  starting with a lap of the Blue trail to warm up, then sees what people want to do next.

And as it’s the end of summer, we’ll thrown on some snacks and drinks to celebrate too, so come and join us!

This a very relaxed ride, at an easy pace, with lots of opportunities to develop and practice skills. Everyone is welcome and this is a great introductory ride if you’re just starting or coming back to mountain biking.

You must bring a helmet, but you don’t need lights 😊
Also thoroughly recommend insect repellent!

Meet in the Croft car park at 4.30pm for the family laps, 5.30pm onwards for adults.

We will start with a lap of the Blue trail to warm up, then sees what people want to do next. The options will be to head over the motorway to Wroughton for a couple of laps of the new pump track there, do a practice trip up and then down Ladder Lane, or just more laps of Croft.

I’ve found time to squeeze in another weekend Scenic ride in January, going in a different direction along the Ridgeway.

The start is at the bottom of the Barbury steep side (see map posting) setting off along the Ridgeway away from Barbury to Broad Hinton. From there we amble along the valley and a potential pub stop. Then the climb back up to the Ridgeway and the White Horse trail to Rockley. Then it’s back along the valley and up onto the ridge back to the start.

The ride will be 27km in length with 350m of climbing and some beautiful scenery.

Please see map for the start point, although you can also park at Barbury and cycle down to there if you want.

You must wear a helmet and dressed according to the conditions – it’s pretty cold out there still!

Wednesday rides are back with a new format.

The evening will be split into two parts:

6-7pm will be a Croft trail ride, laps of the trail (when it gets lighter we will also be sessioning some of the features)

7-8.15pm will be a local, fairly flat route, less than 10km in total.

These rides are part of our GetintoMTB series, designed for anyone just starting mountain biking, coming back after a break or just wanting a shorter, flatter ride 😊

Helmets are compulsory and you will also need lights at the moment.

Meet in the Croft car park for both rides
