Moderate Level 2 Guided Ride - e.g. Eton & Dorney

On the 2nd Saturday of every month, we up the pace a bit for a Moderate Level 2 ride. Book your place here. 

All rides are subject to suitable weather conditions. We cancel rides if it's too cold or wet to cycle safely. Please follow us on social media or check our websites for last minute updates. 

NB This ride level is aimed at inexperienced cyclists who want a nice moderate ride. If you're looking for something more pacy please consider a Level 3 or 4 ride. 

A lot like a Level 1 Ride, also flat, just a little bit quicker and longer. Mainly on tracks, but we’ll venture onto some quiet roads, so we can see more sites & gain more confidence – typically around Eton, Eton Wick, Dorney &, of course, Clewer. We might even pop across to Slough to visit Upton Court & Herschel parks.

Please bring a water bottle & snack for this ride - if you don't have them, then we can supply. We recommend that you have an inner tube for your bike too - this is vital if you have a small wheeled bike (as we don't tend to carry those with us).

These rides are a great way to explore more of your surroundings, and start joining the dots between one area to another. They’re suitable for older accompanied children (13+) who are already familiar with road riding. 

All rides have a Ride Leader to provide clear direction & a Sweeper to make sure no one gets left behind. We might being some ride assistants too, to look after anyone moving up form a Gentle Ride. 

We meet from 10:45am for a bike safety checks, confirm registration, a chat & the loo. You must be at The Swan by 10:55 latest to go on the ride, be registered & your bike deemed safe for group riding. Then it's off from Clewer, at 11:00 for a lovely ride by the Thames. Back in up to 1:45hrs for a refreshing drink & maybe some lunch at The Swan.

Up to 1 3/4 hrs, stop once (drinking/eating on-board supplies) & up to 12 miles.
