Route Description

Sky Ride Local in Southampton

If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour. 

Come and join us on this 'great escape' from the hustle and bustle of the City to the tranquillity of rural lanes, passing close to Broadlands Estate in Romsey (home of Lord Louis Mountbatten where Prince Charles and Diana Spencer spent their wedding night). We will return via the wonderful new cycle path through Adanac Park, passing the new headquarters of the Ordnance Survey. This is a great ride for people looking to take their cycling a bit further.

Ride Leaders

  • Andy Beckett Relatively new to cycling, I started in 2012 to get fit, and caught the cycling bug. I now cycle at every opportunity. Cycling did a great job of getting me fit. In 2014 I cycled from Lands End to John O'Groats, during the year cycling over 14,000 miles, and it all started with some 5 mile rides in August 2012
  • Carly Halford
  • David Penny I am a family man and I work as a Safety Advisor. Most people ask why do I ride? And I tell them: Its a cheap form of transportation. Its good for the environment. It keeps me fit and healthy. But most of all its FUN and its something all the family can do together.
