Basingstoke: Steady ride (Hatch Warren)

Steady ride mostly all cycle paths which would suit those who have done the starter rides from War Memorial to Crabtree and are ready for a couple more miles, or for those who want to ride with a social group! Same route as 17th May. We will head out from Portsmouth Arms to Beggarwood Park, cross the A30 and join the cycle/shared path which heads north then west to Oakley. At the end of the path, we'll complete a short loop around Oakley on quiet roads and can practice road riding in a group. We'll then head back the way we can. A couple of hills in/out of Beggarwood Park and the final climb up to Portsmouth Arms but a lot of flatter sections too. Note: if another leader is available we will offer a shorter route completely on cycle paths 5-6 miles. Will keep you posted, or do contact us with queries. Note 2: A road bike should be OK in current weather, but be aware it will be a bit bumpy on the shared cycle path and if wet, a slightly muddy bit at the end of the cycle path but nothing dangerous. Note 3: U16s welcome if you know they are capable and you are responsible for them (see T&C) See you there! Ruth [email protected] Breeze Network Basingstoke on Facebook Twitter @breezingstoke
