Basingstoke steady 20m to the Leather Bottle

On-road route from Eastrop Park out through Old Basing, Newnham Lane, Rotherwick, Mattingley and back after we pass the Leather Bottle (nice pub!) in a loop via Bottle Lane through Rotherwick back via Greywell Rd from Newnham. A few undulations but not a hilly ride. It only says challenging as it is over 20 miles. https://www.goskyride.com/SCG/ViewRouteBlank?routeID=23159 There is less relative climbing/hills in this than the 15 mile ride a few weeks back so if you did that OK you will be fine do not be scared of the extra distance as there no significant extra hills. 222 metres of total climbing (mainly around Newnham) to 198m for the 15 mile. Unfortunately only one leader available this weekend plus one assistant so no shorter ride but do not despair there is lots coming soon - good luck to Nicole who's doing exams she'll be back next week! But most of you who did the 10 mile would be fine with this - get in touch if unsure! Ideally hybrid type bikes or road bikes simply because mountain bikes for 20 miles on road is very hard work but if you are happy you can keep up at just over 10mph on a mountain bike then welcome!
