Basingstoke: Portsmouth Arms to Oakley partly off road 16k

**Note that if the weather changes, and the bridleways turn into a bog, we will still do approx a 10 mile loop approx same intensity but we will omit the bogs and stay on the made cycle paths and quiet roads.** Starting at the Portsmouth Arms taking the cycle/shared path out through Beggarwood Park and on towards Oakley. Take the quiet roads through Oakley and head back via bridleways through Pardown and Fuzzy Dove and back to Portsmouth Arms via Kempshott and Hatch Warren. Mostly on cycle paths, Pardown area can get muddy quickly in winter/ after periods of rain. Hybrids with some nobbly tyres should be OK in mild weather but it will be bumpy, not suitable if it's been raining. Contact us if you have any doubts. The route will be re-assessed nearer the time and may change due to ground conditions in area of Pardown bridleway and we will update via facebook or contact us. Thanks!
