Map
Just over an hour's cycling on off-road cycle paths, cycle lanes and quiet country roads.
We'll stop for elevenses at the Woodmancote pub - well known for its home-made cake.
There will be a free bike check available at the start of the ride. If you'd like us to have a look at your bike, please come to the start early. We'll be there from 8:45.
Note there will be another ride leaving at 9:15. Make sure you join the right ride or you might end up going a lot further than you expected!
About Cathedral Challenge rides
We're running a series of rides for people who are:
- New to group cycling
- Haven’t cycled for a while
- Want to cycle a bit further than usual
They start with a short, 'get to know you' ride that includes a free bike check and progress through longer distances, tackling a series of challenges on the way:
- Bronze: Havant to Portsmouth cathedral and back
- Silver: Chichester cathedral and back
- Gold: Winchester cathedral and back
There's more detail and a registration form here.
Note that the Cathedral rides are subject to change and adaptation as we learn more about the challenge riders.
