Basingstoke: Lap of the town

This is an opportunity to learn more of the town's cycle path network and join some of it together! Route we'll aim for is a "lap of the town" so a lot on and off road cycle ways and a few road sections. This will be steady pace, not road bike racing and it'll be a social one. Optional pub stop at the end so bring locks if you want. Aim for 1.5 hours. As learnt last week, pub opens 12 noon!! We will do something like this: https://www.goskyride.com/SCG/ViewRouteBlank?routeID=5975 All types of bike are welcome though as stated above it is not a road ride so hybrids ideal and mountain bikes welcome - the Beggarword-Pack Lane cycle path is a bit gravelly but perfectly ride able on road bike if a bit bumpy if you want to be social you are welcome. One paved section of the cycleway into Winklebury Park is in fairly bad condition but road bikers can walk those hundred yards if required. Advice for group riding from the Basingstoke Triathlon club here are quite useful: http://www.basingstoketrisquad.co.uk/group-riding/ Queries and feedback/requests welcome to Ruth - [email protected] / 07876 35156 emergency number for the day Look forward to seeing you there!
