Map

Loop to Liss Triangle centre.
Depending on numbers we will split into groups. My route will be via South Harting, Rogate and Hill Brow, return by the A3 cycle path, Petersfield and the Butser Cut. Total distance 37 miles.

Although you do not have to book it helps me if I know who is coming. Everyone welcome!

Ride leader notes

As I am still recovering from my accident early September 2025, I am going much slower with shorter rides. I am riding a recumbent to reduce the risk of falling. Text below is out of date.

On club rides I ride a road bike and prefer to lead all day rides. I aim for 55 - 60 miles in the winter and 65 - 75 miles in the summer (although there are exceptions). One of my bikes is an e-bike which i use on faster rides, so I can keep the pace up. My preferred speed is 12 - 13mph depending on amount of climbing. I record my speed on a Hammerhead Karoo bike computer and the speeds I give reflect what i have recorded over the past few months.

I 'm not keen on urban riding and prefer the countryside of the Downs to the north, west and east of us. Although I'm not a particularly good climber I don't shy away from hills as i think flat rides can be less interesting.

I sometimes lead morning only rides on a Friday for all-comers. On these rides I arrange groups to suit the pace of all riders.

I generally start my rides at the Spring Centre in Havant but will pick up on the route on request. I finish my rides here too although you are welcome to leave the ride elsewhere e.g.nearer to your home.



About all-comers rides

These are half day rides for all members. They are moderate or more demanding rides (we also run easy rides for people unsure of their capabilities). Depending on numbers we split into groups to accommodate different speeds

Originally, we didn't ask you to book to join these rides, but that proved difficult to administer. We now ask you to let us know you're coming. The ride is still unlimited, however.
