Join us this half-term for a FREE fun cycling activity starting from Moredon Sporting Hub on Friday 1st November.

Spooky Cycle Orienteering is designed for riders of all ages and abilities, and is taking place between 10:00 and 13:00. Riders are encouraged to dress themselves and their bikes in a spooky way, and there’s goodie bags for the spookiest riders!

The activity sees riders setting off from Moredon Sporting Hub to explore some of the network of cycle paths in the area in search of orienteering points on lampposts and signs. There’s pre-planned shorter routes of 5, 8 or 10 miles to help you on your way, routes which mostly follow traffic-free cycle paths. You can also join a guided ride with Let’s Ride Swindon around the 10 mile loop, following some of the cycle paths of North Swindon. Sign up via the Let’s Ride website: Let’s Ride – Swindon Spooky Orienteering Ride – 10 miles (letsride.co.uk)

For little legs we’re also planning an off-road mini cycling course at Moredon Sporting Hub with Cotswold Veldrijden Mini and Junior Racers.

Bike mechanic, Craig, from The Freehub – Bicycle Service Center will be offering FREE bike safety checks and basic bike repairs. No booking is required, people are only asked to pay the cost of any replacement parts, if they are needed. Swindon Travel Choices will be offering FREE BikeRegister security marking. You can also pick up cycling maps, talk to us about sessions and clubs available and ask any cycling-related questions.

Following the activities all riders are invited to enjoy a free hot chocolate at Moredon Sporting Hub’s Route 45 café. Hot food and snacks are also available to purchase to help rider’s re-fuel after all the effort.

 Riders are advised to arrive before 12:00 to ensure they have plenty of time to get involved in the cycle orienteering activity. We hope to see you on Friday 1st November! Advanced booking is not required, just come along on the day. For any queries, please get in touch with me at rebeccacox@britishcycling.org.uk or call: 07515606704.
