Ride Details

Sky Ride Local in Cambridgeshire

Join us on some amazing rides, created in association with our friends at the National Trust. Make the most of some beautiful countryside, and great facilities for cyclists.

If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.

After you have enjoyed a great start to the adventure on the trip out on the BikeBus to the beautiful Wimpole Hall, one of the National Trusts real local treasures the fun really starts.  Rolling out from Wimpole across the idylic estate and through beautiful local villages.  Cross the Greenwich meridian and then make the turn for home completing this lovely 12 mile circular route.

Don't worry though there will be plenty of time to enjoy a well deserved tea and cakes  at the Wimpole tearooms before you jump back on the BikeBus.

Check out the BikeBus time table by clicking on the link below to plan your journey out to Wimpole estate.  Remember to get there early as the ride starts at 10am!
