The ride will depart from outside Virginia Water Train Station at 10 am sharp on Saturday 30th August and is expected to finish back at Virginia Water Train Station by 5pm.

Please note that the finish time cannot be guaranteed in the event of unforeseen issues on the day. This is not a suitable ride for riders with tight agendas that evening.

Note: A specific section of this event may involve some walking over steep and uneven ground where Bicycles are not permitted. It is thus only suitable for fit and experienced riders.

Transport

Rations and Water
A coffee break will take place on arrival at Windsor Great Park.
We will stop for an hour at the Fox and Hounds for a snack. Riders are welcome to bring their own picnic.  

ABC bike checks
Riders are urged to carry out a basic ABC pre-check before the event. A = Air in tyres, B = Brakes, C = Chain & Gears etc. There should be no play in the steering.

Equipment
Riders are advised to bring: water bottle, fleece, waterproof jacket and trousers. A lock will also be necessary for this ride.

General information. Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”.
