Map
A short ride out to Durleighmarsh Farm Cafe (26km) for coffee. Straightforward route out via Compton and South Harting. Return route via Nursted and Buriton with the ride terminating at the Hampshire Hog.
Pace to be decided on the day, dependant on who comes along. This ride is after the Morning Breakfast meet at Langbrook Farm which is organised by Phil Beed.
You have the option of attending the breakfast before hand or meeting at the Spring Centre. Apologies for late notice due to my unknown availability!

Ride leader notes
Riding a lightweight road bike (during better months) the faster day rides I lead are typically 100-130km (60-80m) and occasionally 160km (100m).
Routes are at best undulating, usually “lumpy” (hilly), sometimes with severe hills!
- Average GOOD speed on “Faster” rides: 23kph (14mph)
- Average TYPICAL speed on “Faster” rides: 21.5kph (13mph)
Morning only rides are scaled back versions of day rides, usually at the same pace.
I also lead moderate rides as well, where the terrain difficulty is reduced (not so lumpy!) and the speed is adjusted to those attending the ride.
When I lead Waterlooville Community Cycle Club (WCCC) rides, which are generally easy relaxed rides, the pace is that of the slowest attending rider in the group.
* Please check the ride descriptions and classifications on the ride you are considering joining.
About Friday morning rides
These are half day rides for all members. They are moderate or more demanding rides (we also run easy rides for people unsure of their capabilities). Depending on numbers we split into groups to accommodate different speeds
Originally, we didn't ask you to book to join these rides, but that proved difficult to administer. We now ask you to let us know you're coming. The ride is still unlimited, however.
