One of the most important aspects of any great cycling club is the quality of its cycling route and the coffee and cake destinations. Luckily, Swindon is very well placed for some of the greatest cycling country in England. The Cotswolds, White Horse Valley and the Marlborough Downs are on a par with the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Dartmoor when it comes to great scenery and exhilarating riding. And, after visiting many cake stops, I have come to the conclusion that some of the Farm shops and Cafes we visit are among the best in the Country.
