Map
On this ride we'll meet at Bidbury Recreation Ground at 10am, then go down Eastern Road cycleway to Milton Park, Eastney, where we'll have coffee in the Pure Ground cafe. Then we'll look for a range of different tree seeds in the park and identify them.
Next we'll take the ferry to Hayling (fare per adult with bike now £3.) On Hayling we'll look for a few more types of tree seeds, then have lunch at Northney Farm. After that we return to Bidbury.
Pace of riding will be relaxed. Total of about 20 miles.
If you have an "i-spy trees" book you may like to bring it and a pen.

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.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
