Map
"The Hangers" a ride Mike put together some time ago. It is a short 29 mile ride but deceptively challenging. He once told me it was his favourite ride from Petersfield.
We will replicate this ride starting from the Red Lion pub.
Please make your own way to Petersfield in time for coffee and cake.
Meet up in the Red Lion car park to leave at 11.15am.
When we return we can have lunch and perhaps a pint or two and reflect on the good times spent with this lovely guy.

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.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
