Starting point

RG22 4RA

Portsmouth Arms, Hatchwarren Lane, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG22 4RA

This is a fairly steady ride, no big hills, 70% on cycle paths, social, and it will not be a race! For those who have done some cycling know they can do a number of miles at a steady pace or have a base of fitness from being otherwise a bit active. The route will follow the cycle path to Beggarwood Park and follow the marked cycle routes through Kempshott towards Pack Lane, and the link with the new Oakley to Basingstoke off road path, opened in December 2011, then a little loop on road in Oakley and back the way we came to Portsmouth Arms. The route can be shortened or extended slightly depending on the pace and feedback of the group, but it is estimated at 10 miles. The cycle paths are quite gravelly in places and a little 'unmade paths (aka some mud covering if wet)' so more suited to mountain bikes and hybrids would be fine but not really road bikes though you can give it a go so long as you are aware! We have completed this route before, so some of you will have ridden this, its such a beautiful ride we are doing it again Any queries should be directed to [email protected] or https://www.facebook.com/breezingstoke
