Southampton Water

A gentle ride down to the Royal Victoria Country Park looking over Southampton Water. The ride is about 14 miles. There are a couple of hilly bits - up and down. As usual, our rule applies – you ride or walk as you like, with no pressure to overstretch yourself. Our pace is governed by the slowest rider, no-one is left behind. A drink and a snack are good things to bring, as well as some money. There is a lovely cafe in the park where we will have refreshments - a good range of food and drink is available. We welcome newcomers to our rides, although this particular ride may not be the best choice for a novice. However, if you are new back on the road and do want to try this ride, we will support you. The group is very sociable and encouraging!! Any type of bike is suitable as long as it's in reasonable working order. You may wish to bring a spare tube in case of a puncture. The Breeze Champions will help with any mechanical problems as far as they are able, but are not trained or insured to mend your bike. Please dress appropriately for the weather – better to have to take a layer off than to be cold! Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part. If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. Car parking at Haskins is free. We look forward to seeing you there.
