Saints Foundation Ride

This ride is planned to be a causal no drop social ride, ideal for those thinking about doing the challenge next year, and an opportunity to discuss training for this event, and ask about our training rides we will be organising in 2020.

This lead ride with British Cycling Guided Ride Leaders, an easy route from St Mary’s to Itchen Country Park, and returning back to the stadium.
.
We will stop at Itchen for refreshments at the visitor centre.

This ride is part of a series of training rides as part of the partnership between British Cycling and Saints. British Cycling are proud to support the Saints Foundation for a fourth year running, providing training rides building up to and supporting during the Saints Big Bike challenge from Brighton to Southampton on 3rd May 2020, a challenging 80 mile ride from Brighton Football Club to St Mary’s Stadium.

Quiet roads, mainly on cycle paths

Itchen Country Park

Given the time of year, please wear suitable warm clothing and a helmet is optional. A light, waterproof jacket is almost essential for the British climate. Otherwise just bring something to drinks, spare inner tubes, tyre levers and pump. Please also bring a lock to secure you bike at the café.

We especially welcome newbies!
