Cycle Steps |
1. THIS ROUTE CAN STARTS BY EAST DROP PARK AND WORKS ITS AWAY AROUND THE PARK AND UNDER THE RING ROAD. AFTER THIS YOU JOIN MAINLY QUITE ROADS WINDING THROUGH LITTLE VILLAGES. TOWARDS THE END OF THE RIDE THERE IS A STRETCH ON 339 WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT BUSY THAN MOST OF THE OTHER ROADS BUT IT HAS SOME GREAT LONG HILLS WINDING UP AND DOWN. AT THE END OF THE RIDE THERE IS A NICE RELAXING RIDE AROUND THE WAR MEMORIAL PARK. WE STOPPED FOR LUNCH AT THE LONG SUTTON POND IN THE SUN WHICH WAS A LOVELY PLACE FOR A BREAK AND A BITE TO EAT. |

Landmarks/Sites to see? |
PASSED A FEW PUBS AND SHOPS. WE STOPPED AT THE SHOP IN SOUTH WARNBOROUGH TO GET SOME MORE WATER. THIS ALSO HAD A TEA ROOM THERE AS WELL.
ONE RECOMENDATION IS THE HODINGTON ARMS IN UPTON GREY. BRILLIANT PUB PRICEY BUT THE BEST BITE TO EAT YOU WILL GET ON THE ROUTE.
