SMTBE run a program called “Get into MTB”, designed to get people mountain biking. You might not have ridden since you were a child, or ride the road regularly and be curious about mountain biking, or be coming back to mountain biking after a break. If so, we have articles and events designed to help you find out about mountain biking and actually get you on a mountain bike. These are also perfect for building up skills and fitness if you’ve not been on a mountain bike for some time.
Below is the calendar for “Get into MTB” events. All of these will be less than 15 miles (generally 10 miles).

The Aldbourne loop is one of my favourite rides, starting at the New Calley Arms in Wanborough and heading up to the Ridgeway out to Aldbourne along the ridge onto of Sugar Hill.
We will stop at Aldbourne for a drink and cake at Time at the Forge, before heading back over Fox Hill and down through the Hinton Parva Coombes and back to Wanborough.

The route is about 23km and 300m of climbing and will be take at a leisurely pace – it’s good country side and nice to enjoy it.
There’s nothing technical on the route, so just the hills to contend with.
