I live near Swindon and would like to have a go at riding the Ridgeway in a day. I ride parts of it fairly regularly, and think it would be a good challenge. Probably in the spring, but might go for a winter ride with lights.
Does anyone have any tips in the following?
How best to get to the start at Overton Hill without driving or being driven? Ideally I would get a bus or similar, but doubt they take bikes…
Also, any tips on the best route for bikes once you get off the chalk and the bridle way along the ridge and head north east across the clay of the chilterns?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
