Breeze Bike Rides in West Berkshire

This ride from Newbury to Greenham Common follows a towpath to Thatcham which then incorporates a steep-ish incline on a gravel path up to Greenham Common which then gives way to gravel, earth and grass paths on the common from Greenham Common we will head back into Newbury

We'll meet at Victoria Park bandstand for a warm up and a quick bike check. Then we’ll head out along the canal to Greenham Common.  There will be an opportunity of refreshments at the end of the ride.

This is a relatively easy ride on a mostly flat traffic free route.  It’s perfect for beginners/intermediates or anyone who’s not been on a bike for a while. We really welcome newcomers to our rides.

Please also ensure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather on the day.  There may also be an opportunity at the end of the ride for refreshments if you so wish so don't forget to bring some cash if you feel you may want to partake.

Meet the Champions

  • Heather Cater Heather Cater Hello,
    I love cycling, of all types on all bikes and have done since I was little. Whether its on road or off road or both. I used to take my girls bike out onto the local BMX track! I also love exploring and finding new routes, and being on a bike means I get to explore even further. I'd love to share my bike rides with other ladies and encourage more people to get out there on their bikes and see the countryside. We have the best cycling environment in Newbury with Greenham Common on one side, the Ridgeway just to the North and the Kennet and Avon Canal in the middle. Something for everyone, whatever the weather. I hope you can join me.
