Basingstoke: Down Grange to Hannington and Ashe

We'll meet outside the Hockey Club at Down Grange Sports Complex. Clubhouse and Toilets will be open. The hockey clubhouse is the one opposite the entrance to the Astroturf pitch. The ride will head out Pack Lane to Oakley, then up to Hannington and back through Ashe and North Waltham. Approx 24 miles and undulating - Hannington is at the top of a hill, then some ups and downs on the way back. Here's the route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6777956 Any bike so long as you're confident about this sort of pace on this sort of ride but it will be easier on a road bike or road style hybrid. More entry level rides will be online in the coming months as the weather improves. The hockey club will be open for hot and cold drinks, snacks etc after for those who want to stay so bring some change. Also please bring a spare inner tube for your bike and clothing appropriate for the weather - gloves, good sock/shoe insulation and some layers probably! Any queries, contact us [email protected] or at the Breeze Network Basingstoke facebook page. We'll keep an eye on the weather and only cancel if it's dangerously windy, flooded etc. See you there. Happy Cycling, Ruth
