Winchester breeze to Shawford and Owslebury

From Wolvesey Palace we will cycle along Kingsgate to St Cross Hospital, 5 Bridges Rd and the Viaduct. From there we will continue via Compton and Shawford to Twyford and Owslebury. It is a country loop with some beautiful views. We will stop towards the end of the ride for coffee in Shawford before returning to Winchester and our start point along the river path

There are a few hills and busy roads, but the ride is mostly on quiet country lanes. We will cycle at an easy pace and nobody will be left behind.

Things to bring:
- Helmet
- Lights for your bike - in case it's dull
- Suitable clothing for the weather and hi-vis if possible.
- A drink and snack if you think you need one
- Money and lock for your bike in case we want to stop for a tea/coffee.
- A spare inner tube, tyre levers and pump just in case of a puncture.

Do check that your bike is roadworthy and your tyres are pumped up!

Please contact the ride leader if you would like to know more or are worried about anything.

PLEASE DO REMEMBER to cancel your place with as much notice as possible if you are unable to attend, as places are limited.
