Although I recommend this part of the Ridgeway, I actually fell off my bike a second time, due to the rain on the chalk. At the time I had a fully loaded bike so rather heavy but never experienced wet chalk until now. The first time was pretty painful as landed on my hip and back, the second fall just enhanced my bruises ;) I would do it again but without the full load, though I would also recommend to do the chalk areas when it's not raining.

Can be slippery and deep, wouldn't want to do this in winter.

water tap by the stables in hedgerow

White horse hill heading east downhill on the ridgeway very rutted

BE WARNED: The East Ginge end of this track has been gated up by the farmers. The "National Cycleway Route 544" signpost adjacent to it has been turned around to point south and upwards towards The Ridgeway, along the White Way.

Rode this section at dusk — the fading light and rising moon gave the white chalk trail a soft glow as it stretched ahead. In dry conditions, the surface is grippy and rolls fast, making it a smooth and enjoyable stretch of the Ridgeway. A peaceful, open ride across classic chalk downs. ✅ great in dry weather ✅ fast, flowy chalk downs hardpack 📸 luminous at sunset or under a rising moon

Downhill chalk section very slippery in wet. Take the slightly hidden track to the left when heading west.

sections can be very tough going in winter and spring due to mud and chalky surfaces; expect some hike-a-bike;
