Leisure Rides

The Goring Gap makes an ideal base for half- or full-day cycle rides. The Leisure Rides are tried and tested cycle routes ranging in length from 12 to 68 miles, all starting and finishing in Goring. Each ride has the option for at least one coffee stop.

Click the column headers in the table to sort the rides by name, type, distance or climbing, or search for part of the route name. The climbing is presented as the number of feet per mile averaged over the ride, to make it easier to see how hilly the rides are compared to one another.
