Not So Easy Hillier Friday Ride
Fort Nelson Coffee Meet-up
Leave The Spring at nine for a hillier not so easy ride to the Fort Nelson coffee meet-up. Going via Purbrook Heath Road so can pick-up at the car park. A hilly route to Fort Nelson but nothing too bad so should arrive half tenish.
The route back is downhill via Cosham and Farlington Marshes so that's good news. The return route passes close to Porchester for anyone who wishes to peel off there.
Back at Havant for one pm or thereabouts where the ride terminates.
21 miles.
N.B. My Easy Friday Rides have evolved into Not So Easy Friday Rides: longer, faster, and now possibly hillier. Different to the published definition of an easy ride, but not that much longer, faster but possibly hillier. If in doubt feel free to contact me for more information to find out if this ride is for you.

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.
