We're heading back out into the countryside after two urban rides to Portsmouth and back. Distance will be the same as the last two rides.

Once we've escaped Havant and Purbrook we'll be tackling two long, but shallow hills well under 5% incline. An excellent opportunity to practice slow, steady pedalling in a low gear. On the way out and back there are some short, sharper inclines to help you build your 'hill legs'. We'll have some nice descents too!

We'll stop for a break at the Bumblebee café in Rowlands Castle.

If you have registered for the Cathedral Challenge there is no need to book and you can ignore the 'wait list' status. Otherwise, if you'd like to join the ride, let us know; registered riders will take priority so we will be unable to confirm your booking until shortly before the ride.

About Cathedral Challenge rides

We're running a series of rides for people who are:

  • New to group cycling

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.
