The King's Garden Party

Sky Ride Local in Southampton

Get out and explore the countryside with the brand new rural off-road routes from Sky Ride Local.  Off-road Ride Well is mostly traffic free rural bike riding for the family and novice cyclist.  There is barely a metre of tarmac in sight on these rides so come and enjoy the scrunch of gravel and the squelch of mud under your tyres with us!

Join us on this wonderful heathland adventure of just over 11 miles.  We wend our way through the historic forest enclosures dating back to the days of King William II.  Our destination is the King's garden, a lovely scenic spot to have a breather and a well-earned snack before we continue on our travels through the New Forest back to Acres Down House.

*The Postcode listed is for the Acres Down Farm Shop, the Public Car Park is sign posted from the farm cross roads.*

Meet the Ride Leaders

• Phil Dollimore Hi everyone, and great to have you on the ride. During the week I am a college lecturer and got back into cycling about two years ago for the exercise. I'd forgotten just how good cycling is. I'm built for comfort for not speed, so don't worry about keeping up and I'm really keen to get people cycling, especially if they haven't done so for a while.
  Looking forward to seeing you on the ride.
  
  Phil
