Off-Road - Ride Well

Sky Ride Local in London

Get out and explore the countryside with the brand new rural off-road routes from Sky Ride Local.  Off-road Ride Well is mostly traffic free rural bike riding for the family and novice cyclist.  There is barely a metre of tarmac in sight on these rides so come and enjoy the scrunch of gravel and the squelch of mud under your tyres with us!

Come join us for this perfectly set off-road ride with wide, gentle off-road paths that are just begging for two wheels to come and ride on them!  This 8 mile circular route allows us to cycle through lovely forest trails, past little ponds, look for wild deer running through the woods and stop and admire Rapley Lake which is the main site of this route.

Please be aware that Crown Estate charge £2 per person to use Bracknell Forest.  This will need to be paid on the day by each participant.  This charge is nothing to do with the ride and goes directly to Crown Estate.

Additional Information

Helmets must be worn by all under 18's regardless of ride level.
The minimum age for these rides is 11, there must be no child trailers or child seats, the child capable of riding within the demands of the off-road specification.
Please bring equipment with you to repair punctures.
Ride Leaders are there to help but are not responsible for your bike.
All rides leave at the time stated you must arrive early Ride Leaders will not wait.
