Map
The first bronze challenge ride to Portsmouth and back.
About two hours on the bike with a stop at the café in Victoria Park, Portsmouth on the way. It's an open air venue so we'll use an alternative if the weather is unkind.
The route is mainly cycle paths, cycle lanes and quiet roads. It includes the Farlington Marshes path, the Tipner Lake path and a cycle tunnel in Portsmouth.
