Mellow Monday leisurely Littleton loop

This ride is suitable for beginners or returners and is limited to 6. Our pace will be slow and steady to allow everyone to get to know each other and gain confidence cycling within a group.

We will cycle through North Walls Park and quieter residential roads to join Worthy Road. We will then be cycling through Headbourne Worthy and up Down Farm Lane to Three Maids Hill. We will then cycle along Stud Lane and stop for coffee and chat at The Running Horse in Littleton. Our return to Winchester is via Harestock and Barton Meadows. There are some gentle short hills on this route which you can ride, or walk, at your own pace, as well as one slightly longer hill. We will cycle at the pace of the slowest rider so no one will be left behind. We will ride safely as a group and rest if needed.

Please check your bike is in good working order and conduct a pre-ride safety check on your bike https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/get-active/mcheck/

Please also bring:
- Inner tube/ pump/ tyre levers for puncture repair (don't worry about getting a puncture, we can help)
- A drink and a snack
- Layers to suit the weather (no special gear is required just safe shoes/trainers)
- Mobile phone
- A lock for your bike and cash/ payment card for the coffee stop.

There is no charge for car parking at Hillier Way car park for the first three hours; a short walk from the start or pay parking is available outside the disused leisure centre.

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.

We especially welcome newcomers!
