Map
Leaving The Spring at nine we head to Chi for a quick tour around the north of the city. Then head south and in due course stopping for a leisurely coffee and doughnut. Surviving that, a short tour to the south of the city follows and eventually we head toward West Stoke in time for the free lunch that awaits us. The ride terminates at the West Stoke village hall.

About Saturday rides
Rides usually from Havant with stops for elevenses, lunch and sometimes tea. If you're unable to keep up or have a mechanical problem, someone will be available to help you - although we obviously cannot guarantee to solve all problems.
Riders are free to join and leave the ride at various points. Some ride directly to the elevenses stop.
Saturday rides are (usually) much smaller than Wednesday rides. As a result they offer fewer options for rides but more flexibility for routes and destinations.
If you want to ride with us but only to elevenses and need someone to help you with the route back, please let us know in advance of the ride so we can try to arrange something for you.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
