Basingstoke: Breezingstoke trip to Swinley Forest (off road)

As requested we'll lead a group round the new blue trail at Swinley Forest. You will have the option of going round once, (6 miles) or twice with a rest stop in between. I have put 2 hours total so you can stop for a coffee etc after or go round for another loop! There may be time to do some red route if there is demand or you can go yourself after the group ride. Meet at the Lookout 10am ready to go. Mountain bikes (UPDATE) OR you are welcome to try it on a sturdy hybrid bike but this is a trail ride, if it is dry you will be fine! More information is available on this PDF http://www.theroyallandscape.co.uk/media/159078/Crown%20Estate%20Mountain%20Biking%20Leaflet%202013.pdf Read the 'blue route' guidance for suitability but you can go as slow as you want and there are no absolute killer hills on this or rough surfaces is is mainly smooth trail but you can push your bike anywhere you need. The first loop is suitable for all who wish to give it a go, we will see how we go for the second loop!
