We're riding the Kennet & Avon canal towpath to Bath, passing through the beautiful towns of Newbury and Hungerford staying overnight in Devizes and then on to Bath on Day Two. If time permits we will spend an hour or two at the Wadsworth Brewery on Saturday afternoon to sooth our saddle sores with sole local beers.
On Sunday we start the day with a great downhill run past the Caen Hill Locks and into the rolling countryside of Wiltshire, crossing some great viaducts as we roll onwards into Somerset and the outskirts of Bath.
The ride finishes where the canal meets the River Avon, right outside Bath Station where we jump on a train back to Reading.
"That doesn't sound too hard!!!!!!" We hear you say. Well...........
The total mileage is around 83 miles, with approximately 55 miles on Saturday and 28 on Sunday. While that mileage may not seem too great, the entire route is unpaved, downright rough in places and a good deal more challenging than riding the route on the road.
There is also a BIG climb over the 173foot Cleveland Tunnel as we approach Devizes............
Please sponsor us......
