Basingstoke: Hannington and Ibworth ups and downs loop 18.5m

This ride is 18.6 miles heading out down the cycle path towards Kempshott Lane and the five way junction then out to Oakley so a nice downhill and flat start. Then we climb up to Hannington, brief water stop and then down and up again to Ibworth before largely retracing our steps back from Oakley. Largely quiet roads but definitely a few hills but what goes up comes down faster and easier! Aiming to be done in a little under 2 hours including any stops - bring lights on your bike in case but the slightly earlier start and under 20 miles should mean we are OK. The planned route is here subject to change once I test ride it couple of bits last time were a bit rough but hopefully OK now some roadworks have been done. https://www.goskyride.com/SCG/ViewRouteBlank?routeID=16800 Any queries contact us [email protected]  facebook.com/breezingstoke twitter @breezingstoke Cheers, Ruth Don’t forget….
