5 Rivers to Cafe Velo

A beautiful ride through the New Forest. We start off on the bike trail from 5 Rivers and then make our way steadily through Salisbury town centre to Southampton Road. We will then make our way on quieter country roads to Downton, then ride through Woodgreen and ride steadily up to the top of Godshill. We continue riding south to Ringwood and are likely to come across lots of new foals, horses and wild donkeys on this stretch of the ride.
We will then have a coffee and cake stop at Cafe Velo. We will return through Sandleheath and take the long steady road through Rockbourne, climbing up to the top. Once we catch our breathe we'll ride down into Coombe Bissett, taking a right to Odstock and past Salisbury Hospital. We then return through the city centre back to the leisure centre.

Please ensure a helmet is worn for the ride. It should be a sunny day, so sun cream is advisable as well as a water bottle. Bring money for the coffee stop.
