MTB routes around Newbury

Portway loop

A 43 km loop south of Newbury starting and finishing at Greenham Common.  Classic trail riding in the North Downs with great views, a bit of history and some of the best single track descents for miles around.  You'll be amazed how much off road riding there is on this route.
