FREE Guided Rides

Every Sunday in Swindon!

The rides are free of charge and are open to all abilities every Sunday afternoon. They set off from
different locations each week and are a wonderful opportunity to get out with the family, make
new friends, or just relax and discover the local cycling networks and the joys of cycling.
All our routes are targeted at people of average fitness rather than racing cyclists and you can
register on the day. Most rides will be completed within 2 hours, but this will depend on the ability
of the whole group. No one will be left behind or asked to go faster and shortcuts are available.
The only rule is to relax and enjoy the ride.
Please contact me for a timetable or visit www.ctc.org.uk/swindonrides.
If you have any queries about the ride, please contact
Anna Cipullo on 07717 696672
or email: [email protected]
