Starting point

SO14 1JH

The Gas Column, Houndwell Park, Southampton

This ride to Highfield follows a pretty route through Houndwell, Palmerston and East Park. We’ll meet at the Gas Column (the tall blue column) for a quick introduction and bike check. Then we’ll head out on London Road on to the traffic-free cycle route on the Avenue to the ancient Southampton Common. This is a steady ride on a mostly flat route with some gentle climbs and a couple of very short on-road sections. The total length of the ride is around 9 miles. It’s perfect for anyone who’s not been on a bike for a while. We really welcome newcomers to our rides and we will always go at the pace of the slowest rider. It’s a good idea to bring some water and you may also want to bring a snack if you think your energy levels may need topping up along the way. Wearing a helmet is advisable, though not essential. Any type of bike will be fine on this route but if you are unsure about anything please get your local bike shop to check it over. Please bring some money if you want to buy refreshments. If you bring a friend as well you could receive a fabulous Breeze accessory - see the following page for more information http://www.goskyride.com/Breeze/ShowArticle/Breeze-for-rewards?retURL=%2FBreeze%2FIndex%2F3 Email me at [email protected] if you have any questions!
