Boomtown- The plan
What is it?! A 80 mile cycle along the Sustrans National Cycle network, split over two days that winds its way through the gurt lush countryside.
When?! The ride will leave Bristol Temple Meads 9am on Wednesday, and will aim to arrive at the festival, and have you on site, tents popped up and ready for the your Thursday eve hoot. If you live along the route, and would like to partake, get in touch and ‘roll up’ will sort something out.
What happens on Monday? There will be a bike shuttle service, including luggage transfer, to Winchester train station all day Monday (don’t worry, we know Boomtown Mondays, its only a few miles).
But I am novice! The route is relatively flat. If you haven’t ridden a bike in years, its worth getting out before the ride, but it will be a gentle pace.
What about food?! ‘Roll up’ are culinary cyclists and will being laying on a dinner to satisfy your needs. You’ll have to bring your own lunch money.
What’s the damage? The ride, which includes lunch and baggage transfer will cost £20, which must be paid before.
Roll up is a Sustrans Active Travel champions project.

    Howdy,

    We don't have bikes to rent sadly as we're london based, but in Bristol there is the bristol bike project:
    http://www.thebristolbikeproject.org/our-services/bike-hire/
    But it'll be £50.00 for the week (cos it'll be longer than the weekend).

    Any use?

      Hi Jane

      This year we put all the bikes in the support van which was parked in the secure crew parking and had no problems.

      Obviously there is a risk when bringing expensive things onto site- If your bike is particularly expensive then the best advice is to perhaps find an alternative. It's your call!

      We're not taking books quite yet. Drop me a line in a month and i'll sign you up.

      Sam
