Sunday Explorer Ride
The Sunday Explorer Ride takes you off the beaten path each week (away from Windsor & Thames Valley regular routes) and into some of the region’s most rewarding cycling terrain. You’ll tackle the steady hills of Surrey or the steeper ramps of Kent, where the climbs and sweeping descents will test your legs. Or head further afield into the Chilterns or the Essex countryside. With a variety of terrains to conquer, from punchy climbs to exhilarating descents, the Explorer Ride is designed to keep you engaged, pushing your limits while taking in the diverse landscapes that each area has to offer.
Riders are expected to have downloaded the route to their bike computer before the ride.
