How long does it take cycle somewhere in New Alresford?

September 1, 2015September 1, 2015 Andrew Wilcox Leave a comment Cycling, Local

I live down by the Cricketers off Tichborne Down. It’s almost the furthest point from the town centre (junction of Broad Street, West and East Street). Here are three rides that give some scale to cycling in New Alresford with the risks for each route. It’s not a big place, you can get from one […]

Low gradient cycle route south of New Alresford

Whilst recovering from a cold before Christmas, I went out on some low gradient cycle rides, so as not to overstress myself.  Here are three: 20 miles around Kilmeston, on to Brockwood, then up to the Milburys and back down through Beauworth. Important to do it that way round, the climb up to the Milburys from Beauworth […]

The ford has new ramps and some tarmac on the footpath

November 12, 2013November 12, 2013 Andrew Wilcox Leave a comment Local

It does not look as if your average saloon or hatchback will make it through with today’s water level. Cyclists on National Cycle Route 23 will be able to […]

Why I enjoyed cycling in The Netherlands with my family

September 10, 2013September 10, 2013 Andrew Wilcox Leave a comment Cycling

In the early/mid 90s I lived in Rotterdam in a suburb on the edge of the city called Hillegersberg for five years. If you went North East from our house it was 1 km to a large park called the Lage Bergse Bos and 6 km South West was the centre of Rotterdam. Our children […]
