Short Breaks
Riding a bike is a great way to enjoy the countryside, whether it be in the UK or beyond. Even when living somewhere as beautiful as Goring (or Streatley), it’s good to get away sometimes. This collection gives an idea of what is possible for a five-day break, based on where the Goring Gromils have been over the last few years . There’s a mixture of fixed-venue breaks with day rides and others where we’ve cycled all or part of the way from Goring and back. Each break has maps showing the rides we took, which can be downloaded in GPX format.
