Map
Flattish ride to Lavant, then Centurion Way to Fishbourne and Apuldram. Some off-road on, firstly Centurion Way, and then parts of Salterns Way.
After elevenses, continue mainly off-road along Salterns Way to West Wittering then follow B2179 to Bracklesham Bay. Given the hot weather forecast I recommend a beach picnic (and maybe a swim!). Return route via Almodington, Highleigh and Pagham Harbour, then partially off-road following NCN 288 to North Mundham then Chichester.
Off-road sections are quite manageable on 28C or above tyres, and given the dry spell, should be mud free. Total distance around 50 miles.

Ride leader notes
I ride an electric assist gravel bike (Vitus E-Substance with Fazua mid motor). I am usually comfortable with overall distances of 60 miles at a medium pace, typically averaging around 11 mph. I enjoy the traffic free off-road or quiet back country roads routes. A few hills are OK, but avoid the more demanding ones, like Turkey island.
About Saturday rides
Saturday rides tend to be small ones. Typically we offer fewer options for rides than Wednesdays, but more flexibility for routes and destinations.
Most rides are morning only, riding out to a stop for elevenses and back again.
Some will be full day with stops for elevenses, lunch and, possibly, tea. If you want to join a full day ride but only to elevenses and need someone to help you with the route back, please let us know in advance of the ride in case someone else that knows the route wants to do the same.
