Hi All
Tomorrow’s Southampton Sky Ride is a superb free leisure cycling opportunity for all ages and abilities. You can ride your bike through Southampton’s streets without a car in sight anytime between 10am and 4pm. It’s free and easy to register and anyone can get involved,no matter how wobbly you might be on a bike. Last year more than 10,000 people took part. The route is entirely open and optional,so you can come and go as you please and ride for as long as you choose. You can ride past Southampton’s landmarks and there is plenty of entertainment planned throughout the day.
More Info at http://www.goskyride.com/Southampton. If you’d like to do it please register on the skyride website.
If you’d also like to join up with others from our Scout Group we will meet at Baddesley Scout HQ at 9:30 for a steady trip down there. There is a suitable route (off road through Rownhams Woods and Chilworth to Bassett Sports Centre then over Southampton Common) missing out most busy roads. Or you could meet us there. Whilst there we will base ourselves in the park just outside Southampton Central Library (by the Civic Centre) for a picnic/lunch as weather permits and set off back from there at 3pm for North Baddesley.
Leaders will not be taking responsibility for young folk. Please treat this as a family event – parents will be in charge of their own kids. We do however ask that if you are cycling with us you wear a cycle helmet.
Hope to see you there.
