Map
This is the fifth ride in the Alphabet series, being E for East Meon. We will have both an elevenses and lunch stop covering 36 miles returning to Havant around 4pm. Please bring lights just in case.
Our outward route will be via Scratchface Lane or the Asda roundabout to Denmead, past the Bat and Ball PH and on to the Sustainability Centre. After coffee we will carry on along the top of Teglease Down, past Old Winchester Hill to West Meon and along the valley to East Meon and lunch.
The homeward route will be via Frogmore, the Butser Cutting and Rowlands.

Ride leader notes
I ride a Thorn touring cycle and prefer to lead or participate in rides at a more leisurely pace of 10-11 miles per hour.
I prefer the shorter day or half day rides or local short tours. I do enjoy going off road and do not mind hills as long as there aren't too many of them.
About Wednesday rides
Wednesday rides usually start from Havant with stops for elevenses, lunch and sometimes tea. If you're unable to keep up or have a mechanical problem, someone will be available to help you - although we obviously cannot guarantee to solve all problems.
Wednesday rides usually provide a range of options to riders as we'll try to arrange multiple rides with different paces, distance and degree of hilliness.
On Wednesdays it is likely that there will be several riders coming back to the Havant area after an elevenses stop - although they might not include a PCTC ride leader. If that is what you'd like to do, please consult the ride organiser before the day of the ride to ensure someone knows and is able to bring you back.
