RSFLA Cycle Ride 2004
Sunday 6th June 2004, 10:30am, Rivermead Centre

The RSFLA invites you to enjoy a day out-and-about on your bike, to help raise funds for our new 'Bicycle Project'. The Association will be leading a bicycling exploration of the picturesque lanes and villages of South Oxfordshire on Sunday 6th June.

Riders of all abilities are welcome, and will be offered the choice of an energetic 30 mile tour of the area, or a more leisurely 15 mile summer ride. Leaving from the Rivermead Centre, we will head to the scenic village of Checkendon for a refreshing lunch, before returning to Reading.

We invite participants to make a donation (e.g. £5) to take part - and encourage those who are able to seek sponsorship, to download the Sponsorship Form from the green section below-right.

Final details of the Cycle Ride

The Chiltern village, nestled in woodlands, is a popular destination for ramblers and horseriders. Checkendon's fine, Romanesque Church is located at the south-west edge of the village (photo), and in the nearby village of Stoke Row, the striking Maharajah's Well was opened in 1863 (photo). This Ordnance Survey Landranger map gives a better impression of the area around Checkendon.

Important information

Please ensure your bicycles are in good working order, as the Association cannot afford to be held liable. The 15 mile route has been designed to avoid roads wherever possible, in order to make it suitable for younger, or less experienced riders - however the 30 mile route does include stretches of main road, and is therefore intended for more experienced cyclists.
