You've moved then dobo?

singletrackmind showed us a track that circumnavigated the zoo - it was certainly different!

Andy - just look at an OS map and you'll see that a bridleway goes through the midst of woodland by Marwell. You do actually get a peek of the zoo. 8)

Help, guidance and coffee duly offered, give me a shout!
I know the Marwell tracks, there's a cracker just down from The Ship in Owslebury, not a bad pub either...

Three Maids Hill singletrack for the New Year route please.

It is a given!

Just not sure if we want to slog up the hill afterwards....suggestions?

Is there a route over to the other side of the M3 from there?

You mean White Hill? Yup that'll hurt!
But there's a couple of different ways of getting there so we can be nice ๐Ÿ˜†

Where do you want to go from there?, it is tricky to avoid road from there, happy to test a few routes out though as im based close by

Shall we have a meet up one weekend and pour over the OS maps?
Its so weather dependant , most of the routes turn to chud so quickly , especially ones with any horse action on them, plus the green chalk of death to contend with.
I work in New Alresford, and have parking spaces .

We have a route planned, but the conditions out there look really nasty. We currently have Mech braking mud just about everywhere, so unless we get some really hard frosts for the whole of next week I think it would be better to run away to Frimley or some such well drained zone. Your thoughts???

Ok, so we are still on then! RIGHT....

We shall meet in the St.Cross park n ride car park at 9:00am

As it is gopping I suggest 35k route out to Crawley via Farley Mount.

Pub stops optional, but I was thinking we could stash some mince pies at the Bell and then finish the ride back to the car park.

It will all be single speed/clown bike/attention seeking bike friendly.

Don't get too excited. Just a plastic hardtail that's not overly common. It's the only bike I have built up at the moment.
