Starting point

SO15 7NN

Starting outside the Cafe at the Bottom of the common - Parking available on Cemetery Road or Hill Lane. Free after 3pm and at weekends.

We will meet outside The Cafe at the Hawthorns on the south end of Southampton Common. From here, we will take a clockwise loop of the common before heading down the Avenue on cycle paths, a small section of road before joining the parks in central Southampton. After looping down to Hoglands Park we will head back up on a similar route and do a reverse loop of the common. The ride is about 6-7miles and a great ride for beginners. If the group is feeling more confident we can take a loop to Shirley which involves cycling more on the road and we will loop back round to central Southampton for refreshments and will be a similar distance.

This is a great chance to poodle round Southampton, and we can stop in the Arts Quarter for refreshments and a chat about what you want from your Breeze rides in Southampton.

Winter is here, so please dress accordingly and make sure you have working lights on your bike - both a front white light and a rear red light. It is advised to carry a spare inner tube and a drink.

Please make sure your contact number is current. Any concerns or questions about the route, please contact ride leader Jenny @ [email protected]
