Remembrance Sunday Down Grange to Farleigh Wallop -Hilly 13m!

Starting by the car park at the main entrance to Down Grange Sports Complex, we turn left onto Pack Lane and continue out to Oakley. Once through the village, we take quiet roads to North Waltham and cross the A30 and go over the M3 to head up(and up!) :) through first Dummer and then to the top of Farleigh Wallop. Fairly flat to start, then climb the whole way from the A30 with a couple of easier sections. A good 13 mile loop for a quick Sunday morning spin. This is less total hills than the 13 mile Ellisfield loop, some of you ladies have done but the hill(s) are really in one main section. Suit those with some base fitness who have started to challenge themselves on hills and are comfortable with the faster pace(and faster riders who're willing to be social-you can challenge yourselves but wait at the top of hills). Please wear clothing appropriate for the weather conditions. In case of poor visibility, hi viz and front and rear bike light advisable. Bring a spare inner tube; pump up tyres before leaving home( roads flinty this time of year; more likely to get puncture's, maybe time to invest in winter tyres). Helmet recommended. NB - all Autumn / winter rides subject to cancellation should conditions look as though they will be icy / slippery It is Remembrance Sunday, so wear a poppy to honour our fallen heroes. Hope to see you there Linda
