April

Sunday, 11th April

10am-3pm - Free Wheeling


There will be friendly, supported cycle rides of around 4, 10 and 27 miles leaving at 30 minute intervals between 10am and 12 noon to welcome people from beginners to keenies to come out and sample the pleasures of cycling around Abingdon. The idea is to have an event that is fun, builds the local community and inspires people to get on a bike going into the summer. There will be a free cake stop on every ride and music to bring a smile to all.

At the Market Place there will be an opportunity to get your bike mended or spruced up or to borrow a bike for free. There will also be information, inspiration and support from local cycling groups and enthusiasts.
The event is free to enter and suitable for all the family, although under 16s should be accompanied by an adult.
