Following on from the Cumbria Way, which we detailed in issue 29 of Adventure Bike Rider magazine, we rode the Ridgeway in issue 30. The emphasis of these rides is on exploring our wonderful island by following one of our many long distance footpaths as closely as possible in the saddle of a bike. By following the Ridgeway you can see some of the best preserved ancient monuments in the world, from Avebury standing stones to the Uffington White Horse. While it's possible to ride part of the Ridgeway if you start in West Kennett, this gpx. file is for the road route only. That being said, there's no reason why you can't ride the first few miles of the Ridgeway off-road and then join up with the ABR and TomTom route near Bishopstone and Uffington White Horse.
We've plotted the route out so that you can download it, stick it in your SatNav and ride it. Simply right click on the attachment below called 'ABR Route File the Ridgeway.gpx' and choose 'Save Link As', once you've saved it to your computer load it into your SatNav as per the manufacturers instructions and get riding!
