On the weekend of September 11th &12th, 2010 we’re riding the Kennett & Avon canal towpath to passing through the beautiful towns of Newbury and Hungerford staying overnight in Devizes then on to on day two. If time permits we’ll spend an hour or two at the Wadsworth Brewery on Saturday afternoon to sooth our saddle sores with some local beers. On Sunday we start the day with a great downhill run past the Caen Hill locks and into the rolling countryside of Wiltshire crossing some great viaducts as we roll onwards into and the outskirts of .

The
total mileage is around 83 miles; with approximately 55 miles
on Saturday and 28 on Sunday. While that mileage may not seem too great the
entire route is unpaved, downright rough in places and a good deal more
challenging than riding the route on the road. There is also a big climb over
the 173ft
tunnel as we approach Devizes…
