Map

An easy pleasant ride out to Bosham for coffee and cake at a pace to suit all attending.

Meet at Napier Hall at 8.45 for a 9.00 start. Heading out via Rowlands Castle, Westbourne, Woodmancote following the South Coast Cycle Route until we head south just before West Ashling to Bosham.

Return route differs only in the route back to the cycle route where we retrace our steps back via Rowlands Castle and Horndean (40km/24miles in all).

Mike is not available for this ride, so I'm restricting numbers to eight for this ride. Please let me know if you have any questions or require more information.

Ride leader notes

Riding a lightweight road bike (during better months) the faster day rides I lead are typically 100-130km (60-80m) and occasionally 160km (100m).

Routes are at best undulating, usually “lumpy” (hilly), sometimes with severe hills!

- Average GOOD speed on “Faster” rides: 23kph (14mph)
- Average TYPICAL speed on “Faster” rides: 21.5kph (13mph)

Morning only rides are scaled back versions of day rides, usually at the same pace.

I also lead moderate rides as well, where the terrain difficulty is reduced (not so lumpy!) and the speed is adjusted to those attending the ride.

When I lead Waterlooville Community Cycle Club (WCCC) rides, which are generally easy relaxed rides, the pace is that of the slowest attending rider in the group.

* Please check the ride descriptions and classifications on the ride you are considering joining.

About Waterlooville CCC rides

We have established a Community Cycling club for Waterlooville - a series of cycle rides in the Waterlooville area for people who are new to group riding or who haven't cycled for a while. All are circular routes in moderate terrain that avoid steep inclines but may include a steeper descent. As far as possible we will avoid busy roads. Routes are all less than 50km long (most substantially less). Our aim is to make cycling enjoyable, safe and welcoming for all.
