Second Saturday ride - Hambledon via Chidden

Circular route through the beautiful Hampshire countryside through Chidden and Hambledon on quiet roads and lanes. We are only 2 miles from Waterlooville even though we come under Winchester District Council. Includes a refreshment stop at a local tea room (fab cakes!) Around here there are always a few hills and this route is no exception, however, you will not be left on your own at the back, there will always be someone with you and you go up the hills any way you can, even if you need to walk. The views are worth the effort and it's always easier on the way down!

Nice scenic route with a few hills on the way out but also some nice downhills and flattish on way home

Mostly quiet lanes and B roads suitable for all bike types.

Stopping at the Old Forge (was Lotts) at Hambledon

Wear a cycle helmet, clothing suitable fr the weather conditions and that you can peel off if you get warm. Bring spare inner tube, water, rain jacket in case of a shower and some money for refreshments.

This route is ideal for first timers, however, there are a few hills which can be quite challenging for the less fit individual. However, you will not be left on your own at the back, there will always be someone with you.
