The Joint Cycleways Group will be organizing the annual Chipping Sodbury Festival Cycle Rides on Sunday 21 June as part of Bike Week 2009.
There will be a choice of two rides, 12 and 25 miles. The twelve mile event will be suitable for families, and as usual there will be a quiz with prizes. Children from five or six upwards manage twelve miles quite easily (it’s the adults who have more trouble!) For safety reasons children under secondary school age need to be accompanied by an adult.
The longer ride is a little more challenging and will explore the countryside around Chipping Sodbury. This is a good area for cycling - come and join us.
The events will start from Chipping Sodbury Clock Tower. The 25 mile ride will set off at 11.30 am, and the 12 mile ride will begin at 12.30 pm. Both rides will finish in Jubilee Park by about 2 pm – just in time for the Festival boules match (equipment provided) and the Avon Wildlife Trust duck race!

The Joint Cycleways Group is a project of the local parish and town councils which promotes cycling in Dodington, Yate, Chipping Sodbury, Westerleigh, Pucklechurch and Iron Acton.
We are trying to tempt local people back onto their bikes and to convince you that cycling is a practical means of transport. By making it a part of your regular routine, even for short journeys, you can make a real impact on traffic congestion and improve our local environment. But please, if you’re going to join us, make sure that your bike is in good working order.
Details of more events from the Chipping Sodbury Festival are available from here.
