This is a short cycle ride with a mixture of roads, lanes and tracks following a route to the west of Wokingham and exploring a mixture of urban and countryside terrain. This cycle ride is best done with a hybrid bike or mountain bike due to some of the rougher track sections, however these can be avoided if poor weather conditions dictate using better road sections.
Wokingham is a market town close to Reading and was once known for its silk production. It has a pretty market place with a number of historic buildings.
