This ride will start from the Railtrack car park (last known info was that there is now charging to park on Sundays so bring some coins for the meter) at Micheldever Station which is to be found nestled in the crook of the junction between the M3 and the A303 trunk route to the west country. It is 3 miles north of the village of Micheldever itself and is most easily reached by following the A33 from where it splits off the M3 at the Winnall junction at Winchester (junction 9). This junction also serves the A34 to Newbury and both A roads run the same course for half a mile before the A33 splits off to the right.

The ride can head off northwards towards Whitchurch and Laverstoke or go south and west towards Sutton Scotney, Barton Stacey and then northwards to come back via Whitchurch
