Winchester Breeze - Shawford Saunter (easy ride)

This is a gentle ride on local cycle paths and country roads, with a couple of manageable hills (there’s no shame in walking up if you need to!).

The route - we will cycle out on the cycle path along the river and Hockley viaduct and onto the road to Compton with our first hill up to the bridge over the motorway. Following a lovely downhill stretch through Shawford and Twyford on quiet, country lanes, we will go up our last hill before a short section on the main road and back along the cycle path into Winchester. Everyone is welcome; we will cycle at a pace that suits everyone in the group. Please don’t worry about the hills or lagging behind - this ride is aimed at you.

There is an optional stop for coffee at the end of the ride, so a padlock for your bike is advisable.

Please remember to cancel your place if you can’t make it or are unwell.

Things to bring:
Please ensure you have the right clothing for the weather (layers are better)
A drink
A spare inner tube and pump just in case of a puncture (don’t worry if you don’t know how to fix it, there is always someone to help)
A padlock
Cash/card for the coffee stop
