Basingstoke: 23m Steady loop to Dipley and Winchfield

This is one of the flattest loops of this length we do and we will take it at a steady pace to the schedule with strictly no competitive spirit tonight - from there is always some distancing on the couple of short hills where we wait at the top. Everyone's version of 'steady' is different depending how much you've been riding and how fast you want to go but here means aiming for an even pace of 11mph. Head towards Mattingley and Dipley from Eastrop Park via Old Basing and Rotherwick and back via the edge of Winchfield through Odiham and Greywell. All on-road. Suitable for those wanting to ride socially in a group at this pace and anyone wishing to step up from the 13-15 mile rides that are riding around this average speed of 11mph. "Mountain bikes" etc welcome if you are confident you will be OK at this average pace - they're more effort to ride on the road = harder work to keep up! Any queries, let me know! Hope to see you there, Ruth facebook.com/breezingstoke twitter @breezingstoke [email protected]
