Map
A WCCC ride to a new cafe called Tides Coffee Shop at Fareham Marina, suitable for all and taken at a very easy pace.
Using a few roads that may be new to some, this is a 24 mile round trip of approximately an hour's riding each way with plenty of time at the coffee stop.
If you haven't ridden for a while, this might be the ride for you!

Ride leader notes
I have 2 bikes: an Orbea e-bike and a Specialised Ruby bike that has had Cytronex fitted to provide electric assist. I like to have a pace of around 10-12 mph, preferring slower than fast. I don't mind hills, but try to keep the ascent to a sensible level.
My preferred distance is 40-50 miles, but I'm equally happy to do shorter rides.
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.
