Map
A shorter all day Wednesday ride with selected stops offering inside seating suited to an April day! The outbound route will be via Westbourne, Racton , East Marden, Chilgrove and Singleton. Then up the hill to the Cadence Clubhouse just south of Cocking. After elevenses the route follows the Bepton to Elsted road before passing near West Harting and into Petersfield. Here more points can be collected for the Spoons Summer Challenge! The ride finishes at the Hogs Lodge.

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.
