Wheatsheaf
The plan for this year's annual bike ride is as follows:
Meet at the Wheatsheaf, Biggleswade from around 12.30, aiming to set off at 1pm. From there we will ride to the newly reopened March Hare, Dunton and then to the Chequers, Wrestlingworth and Rising sun, Potton. We will finish up at our County Pub of the Year, The Sir William Peel in Sandy.
For those who don't want to overexert themselves in advance of the main ride trains to Biggleswade are as follows:
12:13 from Sandy, arrives Biggleswade 12:17 11:50 from Arlesey, arrives Biggleswade 11:55
As usual the ride will be very much at "social pace"

- 4th Biggleswade Bus Running Day
Sunday 20 September 2026
Biggleswade Town Square
The United Counties Bus Preservation Group are back in Biggleswade for another running day on Sunday 20th September 2026.
Buses will operate on free services between 10am and 4pm over a selection of routes connecting local towns and villages. This is a great opportunity to get around the region’s pubs that are notoriously underserved by public transport.
Buses will also link the Bedfordshire Steam Rally at Shuttleworth collection, Jordans Mill for the Doors Open Weekend and other local attractions.
