Basingstoke: Night lap of town (11m)

This loop takes in a number of Basingstoke's Town Centre Parks. Starts and finishes at Eastrop Park, and is an anti-clockwise loop. It is mainly off-road on shared cycle paths but has some short on-road joining sections. Note Hybrid/ fatter mountain bike tyres would be best for this route but it is rideable with care on a road bike with a few lumps and bumps on the various cycle path surfaces. Good, well charged lights are a must, front and back. Also make sure you have enough layers of clothing on or with you - riding in evenings into the dark means it's generally colder plus you ride slower. Pump up your tyres and ensure you have a spare inner tube with you that fits your bike - if in doubt take it to a bike shop and just ask. See you then!
