Map
The first 'Get to know you' ride of the Cathedral Challenge series.
We'll be taking a short, flat route out through Prinsted, Southbourne and Woodmancote. We'll stop at the Woodmancote pub for coffee and cake (or what you fancy).
We'll be back in Havant around lunchtime.
We're also offering free bike checks from 8:45 on the day.
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.
