Map
Alternate pickup points at Rowlands Castle (0935) or The Bird In Hand pub Love Dean Lane, (1000) - just let me know. A hilly route via Coombe. The return is via Privett and Petersfield with the aim to finish 1330 depending on pace. (If you wish to leave the ride after coffee at West Meon then that is fine).A round trip of approximately 42 miles Havant/Havant at a pace entirely dictated by the abilities of participants.

Ride leader notes
Back in the day, as the term goes, cycle touring was my favourite mode of cycling. Now it's a more leisurely approach to riding with assistance from one of my bike conversions to 'E'. I'm as happy on hills as the flat and enjoy slow cycling as much as more demanding rides.
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.
