Basingstoke: Festive social ride to Hannington

By popular request, we'll be setting out from Portsmouth Arms on a proposed route that's 12 miles out 10 miles back.  We are aiming for The Vyne at Hanningston which opens at 12. If we are early, depending on the pace of the group, we can do an extra loop no problem! IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE RIDE, FEEL FREE TO JOIN US AT 12 NOON. www.thevineathannington.co.uk We WILL stop for tea/coffee/drinks/food if you want stay an hour or so max then head back - all weather dependent - so bring bike locks etc though we will try sit somewhere we can see the bikes out the window. As you should know, The Vyne is at the top of a hill, but, so, also is the Portsmouth Arms so there will be a bit of undulation involved. Road/hybrid bikes better but if you are confident in riding on roads on your mountain bike and think you should more or less keep the pace come along.  Here is a proposed route though we will vary it depending on the group/weather/bike types on the day but aiming for mostly road, though we may take the Oakley cycle path if it stays dry (I rode it on road bike this week it was fine). http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6152969 Any queries, [email protected] ; facebook.com/breezingstoke ; twitter @breezingstoke  Cheers, Ruth and Tracy
