Map
A relaxing and easy paced ride out to Wickham Square for coffee & cake. Suitable for most riders, using cycle paths where available and fairly quiet roads most of the ride.
The route will pass through the outskirts of Denmead and World's End, Rudley MIll, Newtown, Woodend before crossing the A32 and taking the back lane into Wickham.
Return route is a little busier as we take the Southwick road before turning left and heading back to World's End.
If the full numbers of ten attend we'll split into two groups on the road with a large gap between groups for safety.
Approximately 30km (18 miles) on hopefully a pleasant morning.
GPX file attached.

Ride leader notes
Riding a lightweight road bike (during better months) the faster day rides I lead are typically 100-130km (60-80m) and occasionally 160km (100m).
Routes are at best undulating, usually “lumpy” (hilly), sometimes with severe hills!
- Average GOOD speed on “Faster” rides: 23kph (14mph)
- Average TYPICAL speed on “Faster” rides: 21kph (13mph)
Morning only rides are scaled back versions of day rides, usually at the same pace.
I also lead moderate rides as well, where the terrain difficulty is reduced (not so lumpy!) and the speed is adjusted to those attending the ride.
When I lead Waterlooville Community Cycle Club (WCCC) rides, which are generally easy relaxed rides, the pace is that of the slowest attending rider in the group.
About Waterlooville CCC rides
We have established a Community Cycling club for Waterlooville - a series of cycle rides in the Waterlooville area for people who are new to group riding or who haven't cycled for a while. All are circular routes in moderate terrain that avoid steep inclines but may include a steeper descent. As far as possible we will avoid busy roads. Routes are all less than 50km long (most substantially less). Our aim is to make cycling enjoyable, safe and welcoming for all.
