Breeze with Saints Big Bike Challenge Training Social ride 30 miles

This ride is for all those thinking about, or already signed up to the Saints Foundation Bike Bike Challenge 2017, or those who are just looking for a longer ride with like-minded cyclists. More information about this 2-day charity cycle ride if interested is here: http://saintsfoundation.co.uk/big-bike-challenge-may-2017/ The route this time goes out into the New Forest, to Beaulieu for coffee then back via Lyndhurst. We'll stop for optional tea / cake/ food both at Beaulieu and at the end of the ride. If you rode with us in January, you will see this is longer, but with a similar total elevation - so this ride is an increased distance but not really in terms of total climbing. We will aim to complete the route at 10-12mph and hence aim to take about 3.5 hours to complete including a 30 min stop but please allow a little longer in case of the dreaded puncture etc. The stadium is on National Cycle Route 23 and 1.5 miles from Southampton Central Station. If you need to come by car and want to park at the Stadium, please park in the NORTH car park. This is £2 pay and display and sometimes only takes coins! If you normally ride faster/further, you may prefer to sign up on this version of the ride. https://www.letsride.co.uk/rides/breeze-with-saints-big-bike-challenge-trainingsocial-ride-45-miles If you've not yet done this many miles and have any concerns, please do contact Ruth one of the Ride Leaders on [email protected] or contact Sharon below.
