Cafe ride - Basingstoke (Down Grange) to Oakley

This ride to Oakley uses cycle paths and side roads, with a café stop there. Numbers and weather allowing we'll do a loop through Malshanger, Deane and Steventon. Meet in the car park at Down Grange Sports Ground, just inside the entrance from Pack Lane. We go out to Oakley on the cycle path next to Pack Lane. (This path is slightly bumpy in places.) Followed by a loop through Malshanger, Deane and Steventon. The route is undulating with a short hill plus a couple of long slow ones. Skinny road bike tyres wouldn't be much fun on the path out to Oakley (although do-able). Apart from that any bike type is welcome so long as it’s in working order. Wear clothing comfortable for the weather. . Bring a spare inner tube and pump ( plus puncture repair kit if you have one) and money (for café stop). All welcome but please note pace of ride. Look forward to seeing you. Any queries to [email protected] or www.facebook.com/breezingstoke
