Map

This is a two-stop-ride to New Alresford.

The ride starts (and finishes) in Denmead and we'll go a new, but "fully costed" (a term I hear about hundred times a day at the moment) route. There's a couple of miles of off-road on a disused rail track, so you'll need good quality tyres (I'll be on Schwalbe Marathon 32c).

Meet - car park, Kidmore Lane, Denmead: 09.30
Depart - Denmead: 09.45
Coffee - Cuppacheeno's, West Meon: 10.45-11.15
Lunch - New Alresford: 12.30-13.15
Return - Denmead: 15.30

We'll return via Cheriton, Kilmeston and Exton.
...and we'll check whether our costings proved correct!

The pace for this ride will be medium-fast (10-12mph).

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.
