Map
A fairly straight forward ride stopping at two locations that provide indoor seating in the warm. Starting from Havant, at the slightly later time of 0930hr, as we have to travel only 15 miles to the first stop at Aylings Garden Centre. From there the route works North through Chithurst, Borden, Liss and Sheet to Petersfield, all pretty standard routing. Lunch will be taken at the Red Lion (Where points will earned for the Wetherspoons Trophy). The final leg will take us up to the Hogs Lodge where the ride will finish, with people making their own routes home.

Ride leader notes
I'm a regular participant in Wednesday & Sunday rides, Fridays as well if the weather is okay!
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.
