Map
Starting from Outside Bumble Bees cafe, an enrgetic and hilly ride out and back for just the one stop at the Chocolate Frog. Outbound via Buriton, Sheet, Blackmoor (20 Miles) returning via Blackmoor, Empshott, Hawkley, Petersfield and the Butser cutting - a total of 43 miles and around 2,700 ft ascent/descent. Happy for riders to join anywhere en-route (just let me know of course!).

Ride leader notes
Back in the day, as the term goes, cycle touring was my favourite mode of cycling. Now it's a more leisurely approach to riding with assistance from one of my bike conversions to 'E'. I'm as happy on hills as the flat and enjoy slow cycling as much as more demanding rides.
About Pop-up rides
We have certain days when we try to organise regular rides. However, individual ride leaders can create pop-up rides for any day and time.
The small size of some pop-up rides means we might be unable to split a ride if you get into difficulties. We will do all we can to escort you back to the start point, but please be prepared to navigate yourself home or to call for support from a partner, relative or friend.
