Basingstoke: Laura's Farewell Ride Part 1!

Join us for a 18 mile winter warmer ride from Down Grange out through Oakley to Overton and back via North Waltham. Yes Laura is leaving us in the New Year so we're hoping to enjoy a few rides before she's off! It is winter riding so keep an eye on the forecast and expect the unexpected a little - may be worth carrying an extra layer, especially winter riding can be a bit slower and this might be a more social pace for some of you. Looking to do around 12 mph on the road, have allowed a little more as it always takes us a while to get going - and allowed a bit of time after for a coffee/drink etc. Definitely thick socks, gloves and cover up the rest sort of weather likely! Check out our Facebook page for any advice or contact me if unsure about anything. We will meet outside the Hockey Club (opposite the Astroturf pitch) before we ride, and we will stay for drinks (tea, coffee, plus bar will be open!) and snacks afterwards - hope you can make it. There will be somewhere to leave bikes. As usual, if you know you can do this sort of road ride speed on a mountain bike or more off road type hybrid, you are welcome, you will just work harder! See you there!
