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.

This week we’re going to do some skills demonstrations and practice, using the features of the trail. We’ll cover the basics you’ll need for tackling technical terrain – front wheel lifts, unweighting the back well, climbing and descending safely.
You must bring a helmet, but you don’t need lights, yet.

We will meet in the Croft car park as usual and begin with a lap of the Croft trail (which can be skipped if you prefer), before heading off to Wroughton through Wichelstowe. This is a nice gentle flat route, to spin our legs and warm up a bit. Our destination is the pump track in Wroughton, although riding it is optional. We will then return to Croft via the bridleway.
With a lap of Croft you’re looking at about 10km of flat ride – a perfect winter warm up 🙂
Meet in Croft Car Park for 5.45pm.
You will need a helmet, lights and appropriate clothing for the weather.
