WessexRomsey-Stockbridge circuit. Start: Green Acre, Halterworth Lane, Romsey SO51 9AD at 10:00. 34 miles, A. This was the ride which had to be cancelled in 2025 due to excess heat! David writes: The route contains bits of which we've ridden with the TC before but hopefully still a different and varied route for most. 10am start from Green Acre, Halterworth Lane, Romsey SO51 9AD; coffee at the Wellow fishery after 16km and then via small lanes to Stockbridge for lunch (at about 37km, bring sandwiches) and then a loop back home for a total of 54km. There are obvious ways to shorten or lengthen the route as required. My planner says 500m of ascent and descent, most of that clustered around 4 locations on the route, two before the coffee stop and then one before and after lunch. The majority of the distance is reasonably easy going. I expect Alison will provide some nibbles at home when we get back, for those who are able to hang around.
