Haskins Garden Centre, Mansbridge Rd

To celebrate Inspirational Ladies Day, we are offering you a chance to follow in the cycle tracks of Dani King – our local Olympic gold medal winning female cyclist. The ride is circular and approximately 14 miles in total but with a break about half way round.  There are a few hilly bits which you can take at your own pace or walk – there is no pressure, we all stay together. We will leave Haskins Garden Centre and head for Hamble. To begin with it’s on road with traffic, but after Bursledon we get onto the Dani King cycle path into Hamble, where we will visit her golden Post Box and have a well earned coffee and cake stop.   Any type of bike is suitable as long as it's in reasonable working order. Because of the distance and hills, this ride is not really suited to a novice, but if you have been out cycling a few times, you should be fine. We'll always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no-one is left behind. If the weather is very wet or icy the ride will be cancelled, but a leader will be at the start to advise accordingly. Car parking at Haskins is free.  We look forward to seeing you there.
