A Mars Ride Sunday helps you talk, rest and play with West London Cycling. A Sunday Ride with coffee at Burnham Beeches (Mars Bars not included) Sunday 23rd April at 7.30pm from the Polish War Memorial (A40 Ruislip / Northolt)

Back to a favourite local loop this Sunday with West London Cycling as we orbit Slough and it’s famous Mars Bar Factory and head into the Burnham Beeches woodlands where we will do the traditional coffee and cake and all things cycling can be discussed as part of the jolly banter that generally ensues.

You can choose your route on the day, and which group you ride in. We generally have several groups on the road, depending on how many people are riding, so it’s flexible and tailored to riders’ needs. The slowest group will generally wait for the slowest rider (or split into sub groups) but you should be able to manage 30kph on flat stretches with an average speed of around 22kph over the distance. Faster groups will be more speedy of course.

Just turn up at 9am at the Polish War Memorial (A40 Ruislip / Northolt) with the route downloaded on your device. To get the route you need to sign up (free – see button above to subscribe) and then you’ll have access to our routes via the members’ zone tab above (choose routes and rides).

As noted above, we decide on the day as to how many groups we split into, it really depends on who turns up. The faster groups will usually do the longer of the two options with the aim of us all reaching coffee stops at similar times
