Map
The final cathedral challenge ride is the Gold challenge to Winchester Cathedral and back.
We'll stop for elevenses at one of the cafés in Bishop's Waltham, go on to Winchester, then come back to Bishop's Waltham via a different route for tea then back to Havant.
This will also be the main Portsmouth CTC ride for the day so we will leave at the earlier time of 9:15.
These were the successful Gold riders (except for Roy who was in the pub):

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.
