The way points of this bicycle route:
Start (from 08:00 - 09:00) / Finish (Theale Green School, Church Street, Theale RG7 5DA) A really nice twist is the provision of a Porridge breakfast for everyone involved in the event. It will be a long day for riders and helpers alike, so everyone can start the day in the finest traditional way with a bowl of porridge.
Heading out on the ride at the first feed station you will find: Water – the best way to stay hydrated, provided by The Instant Water Company Rocks Organic Cordial – a high sugar drink to give you a good kick, plus it is naturally rich in vitamins and salts Bananas to provide you with slower releasing energy Peanut and honey energy bars giving a good mixture of protein, fat and carbohydrate – grab one to see you through to the next feed station A selection of dried fruit – high in natural sugars and an excellent source of nutrients such as B vitamins, potassium and sodium A selection of nuts for a little extra protein, fat and carbohydrate
Routes split here. Left for short (105km) and RIGHT for longer (190km) route. Small (but perfectly formed) Bakery/cafe on the right before the route split junction.
Long and Short routes rejoin.
The second feed station will be the same as the first with the addition of savoury sandwiches, all made with wholemeal bread so you don’t miss out on those valuable nutrients lost in white bread.
Once back at HQ, homemade cakes, tea, coffee, soft drinks, water and fruit will be available to help get you on the road to recovery.

Reading Cycling Club offer you a few grinds, some short power climbs but, it's the relentless (at times) up's and down's that add up to the challenge that is the Anthony Maynard Sportive.
