Map
Given that the temperature on Tuesday is going to be in the 20's, got to get out cycling.
So starting from Kidmore Lane car park, at 0930, a jaunt out to Tides, Fareham, and return via the hill at Fort Nelson.
Biggest hill is getting back up to Fort Nelson, and returning via Widley Walk to Purbrook Heath and back to Denmead.
Approx 25 miles, but if the temperature is as promised, could make it a longer ride.

Ride leader notes
I have 3 bikes: an Orbea e-bike, a Specialized Ruby bike that has had Cytronex fitted to provide electric assist and a steel touring bike - Argos racing cycles of Bristol which has also had Cytronex fitted. 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 40-60 miles, but I'm equally happy to do shorter rides.
About Pop-up rides
We have certain days when we try to organise regular rides. However, individual ride leaders can create pop-up rides for any day and time.
The small size of some pop-up rides means we might be unable to split a ride if you get into difficulties. We will do all we can to escort you back to the start point, but please be prepared to navigate yourself home or to call for support from a partner, relative or friend.
