A ride of approx 90km, starting in Havant and finishing at the Hampshire Hog. Coffee at Trotton, lunch at Hogmoor Park Cafe.

Although not classed as a fast ride, pace will be brisk and if numbers grow we’ll split into two groups to suit.

Out via Westbourne and Stoughton, onto East and North Marden for a climb on the B2141 to Harting Down, before descending down Hill Lane to Elstead and coffee.

After coffee via the lanes to Milland, the steep but short climb to Holycombe junction. On through Liphook and the back road under the A3 to Grayshott. A stretch on the back lanes again through Whitmoor Bottom towards but never getting to Churt!

With lunch beckoning, we head to Sleaford, cross the A325 to Kingsley and then the last few kilometres (which may include a mystery off road section 😳) to lunch.

The homeward leg is now very straightforward on well worn routes through Blackmore, Liss and Petersfield.

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.
