Map
We'll start by heading out to Westbourne and on to Lordington. We'll then go via Adsdean to Funtingdon and then via Wood End and West Stoke to Lavant. From there we'll take a winding route into Chichester and the Cloisters café (provided it's not too busy). Refreshed we'll head up the Centurion Way and on to Havant via Bosham and Woodmancote having done 36 miles. That's less hilly than the last ride and just eight miles longer.
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.
