Basingstoke evening hilly 13m

First of the midweek evening rides this one will suit those of you who're getting a bit fitter and ready to challenge yourselves on some hills. We take the cycle path initially from the Portsmouth Arms then head up over the M3 to Farleigh Wallop. Down and up the 'big dipper' through Ellisfield, down by The Fox on Green Lane, then circle back up to Ellisfield past the Church, then back via Cliddesden and Wood Lane. https://www.goskyride.com/SCG/ViewRouteBlank?routeID=17575 So there are some ups and downs yes indeed but if you are ready to test yourself but a bit nervous then this is the one for you as we will ensure we all get round safely and if you need to walk up a hill you can we wait at the top. There will be more rides to suit all abilities coming up but this one is aiming for 10mph so slower than some of last year's midweek rides but it's the first one so this is to encourage those who are just getting back into it. If you're unsure, you've got over a week to have a go at some of this route!  We can stop for a drink at Portsmouth Arms at the end weather etc dependent. Make sure you've got lights on your bike, and high visibility items if you have them - we might be OK but you never know punctures etc...
