DAY 1 - London to Marlborough | 61.1 miles | 688m elevation | TCX File | ROUTE

We’ll meet at Alexandra Park, Windsor, from 8.15 am and set off at 9.15 am. Let us know if you need any assistance with your bike or bags as we’d be happy to help.

There are frequent stops and the pace is gentle to give us the opportunity to get into the challenge. It won’t take too long for us to wind our way out of London and enter the peace and quiet of the Berkshire countryside. The morning ride will take us via Winnersh, Mortimer, and Newbury, where we’ll stop for a well-earned lunch.

After lunch, we’ll continue our journey to Marlborough, but it is less than 25 miles! After cycling through some stunning Wiltshire villages we will take a break outside Hungerford, before cycling the final 12 miles to Marlborough, completing day one!

Upon arrival in Marlborough, you’ll be able to check in to the hotel, freshen up and relax, we’ll look after your bike. At 7.00pm we’ll all meet in the hotel reception, go for our evening meal and no doubt reflect on the first day of cycling.
