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 the B2179 to Bracklesham Bay.
Given the hot weather forecast I recommend a beach picnic and 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.

About Wednesday rides
Wednesday rides usually start 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.
Wednesday rides usually provide a range of options to riders as we'll try to arrange multiple rides with different paces, distance and degree of hilliness.
On Wednesdays it is likely that there will be several riders coming back to the Havant area after an elevenses stop - although they might not include a PCTC ride leader. If that is what you'd like to do, please consult the ride organiser before the day of the ride to ensure someone knows and is able to bring you back.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
