Town to Test Way

Starting in East Park next to Mettricks Coffee on Guildhall Square (What3words: ///matter.bets.motel).
This 16 mile, mainly flat route uses cycle paths and quiet roads, heading out through East Park, past the Guildhall and along Millbrook Southampton cycle network to Totton via the SCN1 Western Cycle Freeway and across the River Test. We'll wind our way through the quiet parts of Totton, through green spaces and mostly on cycle paths, then it's not long before you're on country lanes.

You'll continue to Moorcourt, part of the Mountbatten Estate famed for its trout fishing and connections with royalty, across the tributaries of beautiful River Test and the Test Way. We then begin the return to Southampton via plenty more views and some new cycling infrastructure.

We will be riding together at all times, at a pace everyone is comfortable with. Please bring a drink and a snack if you wish. Make sure you wear clothing appropriate to the weather conditions and a cycle helmet. Please also bring a pump and spare inner tube that fits your bike if you have one.

This ride may be shortened dependent on the conditions and those attending. If you are at all concerned, please just message me. If feeling unwell, please cancel your place asap if you can't attend as places are limited.

Look forward to seeing you there.
