The Start
Please arrive by 10am for a 10:30am start. Registration and facilities are open from 9am. All those riding the 20 mile route will start first, to help ease congestion in the village and along the first few miles. Riders will set off in groups of about a dozen, at one minute intervals. Children under 16 must be under the authority of a responsible adult and stay with that adult for the duration of the cycle.
Travel & Parking
Please make your way to the Primary School ideally ‘On Your Bike’ but if you need to drive, please avoid parking on Grove Road (from the school entrance to Kennylands Road). Parking is available at the Health Centre or Village Hall car park.
Refreshments
Breakfast baps will be served from 9:00am onwards. Tea, coffee and homemade cakes will be available throughout the morning.
Support for the Riders
There will be regular way markers on the routes and marshals at certain points, including all road crossings. An emergency number will be issued on the day should you need to summon help. First Aid will be provided by Sonning Common First Responders.
Event photography
Kathryn Fell will be out capturing smiles on the day. If you do not want to be photographed, please put a red cross through your number and do not stand in the group photo.
