Map
A few hills (around 270metres of climbs) on the 15 mile route to West Dean (via East Marden & Chilgrove), then either a flat route along Centurion Way to Lavant, or alternative hilly route via East Dean with additional 80 meter climb and 4 mile longer route, to Goodwood (to be decided on the day).
Total distance around 32/36 miles, so should be back in Havant around 2pm, but bring lights in case of delay getting back.
Booking not required, but feel free to email me if you are planning to attend.

Ride leader notes
I ride an electric assist gravel bike (Vitus E-Substance with Fazua mid motor). I am usually comfortable with overall distances of 60 miles at a medium pace, typically averaging around 11 mph. I enjoy the traffic free off-road or quiet back country roads routes. A few hills are OK, but avoid the more demanding ones, like Turkey island.
