Map
A hilly ride to Guildford starting from Stedham. Either drive to the start where there's plenty of free parking available or else ride there if you're more adventurous. Some relatively steep hills will be encountered on the initial climb up to Hindhead and again, on the return out of Guildford. Coffee after 18-miles at Elstead and lunch at 26-miles at Esquires Coffee in Guildford. Part of the route is on a mile or so of the relatively busy B3000 however, sight lines are good and there are no steep sections. Another section after lunch is on shared use paths that involves carrying your bike up a short flight of steps. Road bikes with narrow tyres should not encounter any undue difficulties.

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.
