Embark on the Odiham Circular, a moderate racebike route that takes you through picturesque farmland and rolling countryside. You will enjoy views over hills and valleys as you cycle past charming historic villages. This 30.5-mile (49.1 km) loop involves a total elevation gain of 1522 feet (464 metres), making it a good challenge for road cyclists. Expect to complete the ride in about 2 hours and 7 minutes. Along the way, you will catch glimpses of the historic Basingstoke Canal and pass the ruins of King John's Castle, a notable 13th-century landmark.
When planning your ride on the Odiham Circular, be aware that while most of the route is paved, you might encounter some unpaved sections. These parts can be challenging for racebikes and may require you to dismount and push your bike for a short distance. The Basingstoke Canal towpath, though scenic, can become very muddy, especially during winter months. Therefore, it might not be suitable for road cycling along its entire length. Consider the season and recent weather conditions when you plan your visit to ensure the best experience.
This route offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance within the region. The Basingstoke Canal, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, provides a tranquil backdrop for parts of your journey. King John's Castle, a significant 13th-century ruin, adds a layer of historical intrigue to the landscape. The Odiham Circular is an excellent choice if you are looking for a road cycling adventure that combines moderate physical exertion with rich historical sights and varied rural scenery.
