Campus Cycle to Work Day / Harwell Green Week

By 6 comments

We are running a Campus Cycle to Work day on Thursday 6th July as part of the Harwell Green Week. To help anybody who wants to cycle to work but needs help or encouragement to take the first step, join one of our guided rides (suitable for all fitness levels) to the Campus. Rides run from Didcot or Wantage via traffic free routes* through the Oxfordshire countryside. At the end of the ride join us for a free cyclist’s breakfast at DiSH.

If you already commute by cycle join us on one of the guided rides or at DiSH for a free cyclists breakfast. 

Just turn up at one of our group rides, suitable for all fitness levels.

  • Didcot Parkway, Cycle Hub – Depart 07:50
  • Wantage, Nelson Pub – Depart 07:45

Bike Doctor Event

A Bike Doctor surgery will be running from 07:30 to 11:30 at DiSH. If you have a problem with your cycle or need a tune up leave your cycle with the Bike Doctor to fix. Labour is free but any parts will need to be paid for. Work is carried out on a first come first served basis.

      Pleasing to see a good number riding in on the Cycle to Work Day. Could I make a case for some fruit or pastry continental style offering as an incentive? Burgers or other similar meaty produce doesn’t sit well on my stomach before 8am ! Cheaper to finance and also arguably healthier ?

      I agree. I don’t know if any vegetarian alternative to the bacon bap are currently offered; if not, then surely there’s even more need for a continental alternative. I believe the coffee bar does pastries.
