biking in hampshire

I used to ride around the Leith Hill area in Surrey for a while before moving across the pond.

Might be a bit further than you want, but there are some great trails (and pubs) around there

I love mountain biking but is always difficult to find people to ride with. I was wonderig if
there is any people here who usually ride in the basingstoke area or anywere in hampshire and
could show me some nice routes.

Look for a bike club, or check local shops for shop rides.

I think the best mountainbiking around Basingstoke can be found at Kingsclere, I'm sure there's
local mountain bike group there that meet each weekend but I'm not sure of the details. Also have a
look at hants.gov.ukroutes.htmlOpen ↗ for route ideas, I can recommend the Watership
down route.

the Watership down route.

I've ridden parts of the Watership Down route and it's OK - not too technical, a few climbs. The
Whitchurch route (on the same site mentioned by
M) takes in parts of Wayfarer's Walk on the western side of the A34 - this has a couple of
good sections.

For local groups try your LBS - I was in Bike Brothers in Basingstoke town centre at the weekend and
got chatting to a bloke who rides a couple of times a week, and was looking for others to ride with
(I couldn't help - Basingstoke isn't very local for me). If you ask at the shop they'll probably be
able to point you in the right direction.
