This is a NEW RIDERS or NEW TO THE CLUB ride, adding a little more distance on either quiet roads or cycle path, to Bosham Quay and back. Stopping at Bosham for that all important Coffee & Cake (Other options available).

Starting from Morrisons at Anchorage Park, we head out of Portsmouth on the Eastern Road cycle path, onto the Farlington Marshes off road cycle track before the back roads of Havant. Taking this route we cross pedestrian routes weaving through and past Havant Station, near the railway line onto Warblington.

A stretch through the residential streets of Emsworth brings us to the recreation ground, onto more quiet roads and cycle path into Westbourne. A little busier on this stretch, but we soon join the back lanes of the South Coast Cycle Route (SCCR) heading through Woodmancote on the undulations (small hills) and then head south to Bosham. Again a little busier, but then quiet again as we approach and stop in scenic Bosham for our coffee stop.

Well refreshed, after a quick look at Bosham front, we head north again with a slightly different loop back onto the SCCR and retracing the route back to Havant, detouring slightly again south of Havant onto our route once again, back to where we started.

Pick up's on route possible. Route distance 28 miles, 14 miles each way and very achievable for anyone who has been on a previous new riders ride. An ideal "next step" ride...

Ride is being run and organised by Terry Willis & Richard Smith

Talk by Spike (David Hensley) . Pre- midge season I took the opportunity to ride the Scottish North Coast 500 mile road circuit (The NC500). This route traverses some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK photos of which I hope to share. I took the train to Inverness fully loaded with camping gear and met up with an ex PCTC member for the first few days and took a break at my daughter's half way, completing the route in 14 days with 9 on the bike.
