Compton

I intend going out via New Lane and Prospect Lane and then we will cross the busy Whichers Gate Road for the short stretch of The Shipwright`s Way into Rowlands Castle. Through Finchdean and then right along the lane towards Littlegreen and then Compton.

After 11s I intend taking the lane to Bevis`s Thumb to look at the hill climb route scheduled for June. Then back through Up Marden and Walderton past Racton Monument and back into Havant via Long Copse Lane.

Ride leader notes

I ride a Thorn touring cycle and prefer to lead or participate in rides at a more leisurely pace of 10-11 miles per hour.
I prefer the shorter day or half day rides or local short tours. I do enjoy going off road and do not mind hills as long as there aren't too many of them.

About easy rides

Our easy rides are designed to be an introduction to club riding. You needn't be concerned about whether you can manage the pace or distance. The easy rides are leisurely and informal. They go at the pace of the slowest rider. We will not leave you behind. If necessary we will split the ride to ensure everyone enjoys it.

The ride is designed for people of average fitness and is open to everyone. There’s no charge for joining the ride. You’ll be riding for two to three hours with a break in the middle at a tea shop. We’ll be using dedicated cycle tracks and cycle lanes wherever possible. We’ll also be using country lanes and back streets.

Inevitably, though, you will be travelling in traffic for part of the way, so the ride is not suitable for people that are uncomfortable cycling on the road.

Cycling is a great way to improve health and well-being, and you’ll find we're a friendly bunch. We’d love to see you.

This article describes what you should consider bringing with you.
