Map
A short & flat 5 mile ride (8.6Km) with a purpose and chance to be part of PCTC history 🙂
Starting at Farlington Marshes we will follow the cycle route down to Milton Common, then head over to Garnier Street.
This was the location of the Co-operative rooms where PCTC was formed 100 years ago & is now an Asda store car park.
We'll stop here for group photos. Please wear PCTC kit, traditional or centenary, a mix of both will be ideal, if you don't have a PCTC jersey let me know and we can loan you one for the photo.
Photos completed we'll brave a cycle ride through Portsmouth for elevenses at the Cafe in the Park. The ride ends here so plan your own route out of Portsmouth and home.
No limit on numbers for this ride.
If preferred you can meet us at Garnier Street
The route includes a railway footbridge, but there is an alternative for anyone who needs it.

Ride leader notes
My preference is for longer rides at a steady pace, with an afternoon pub stop whenever possible.
I might be riding a geared bike or single speed depending on weather and who I'm riding with.
I also enjoy touring and taking part in audax events.
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.
