A different ride to those we have done before ... a DAY ride! We leave Haskins and set off to catch the Hamble ferry. On the Warsash side, we proceed to Titchfield Haven for lunch. There is a lovely cafe, or you can bring a picnic. On our return route there is an offroad section. Half of it is still on tarmac, half on track. After the ferry, we head back to Haskins via the Royal Victoria Country Park at Netley. The ferry costs £1.75 each way for a cyclist and bike. Depending on progress and the group, we may stop for a break at the cafe in the Royal Victoria Country Park on the way back, but the decision will be made on the day. This particular ride is not suitable for a novice. However, if you do want to try this ride, we will support you. The group is very sociable and encouraging!! Road bikes with slick tyres will not be good for the offroad section, but any other cycle in working order will be fine. You may wish to bring a spare tube in case of a puncture. The Breeze Champions will help with any mechanical problems as far as they are able, but are not trained or insured to mend your bike. Please dress appropriately for the weather – better to have to take a layer off than to be cold! You could also bring swimwear and a towel if you like!!! Wearing a helmet is advisable. Car parking at Haskins is free. We look forward to seeing you there.
