Map
Off to the Izaak Walton pub/cafe, (16 miles/25km) an increasingly popular coffee/cake stop. Route goes via Purbrook Heath and Denmead (let me know if you'd like to join the ride at one of these locations) through Hambledon. Return via either Buriton or QECP (I'll take a vote on which one). The return leg is also around 16 miles/25km, so a total trip of 32m/50km. Aiming to be back to the Sring Centre around 1300 ish. See attached GPX file for finner route details.

Ride leader notes
Back in the day, as the term goes, cycle touring was my favourite mode of cycling. Now it's a more leisurely approach to riding with assistance from one of my bike conversions to 'E'. I'm as happy on hills as the flat and enjoy slow cycling as much as more demanding rides.
About Pop-up rides
We have certain days when we try to organise regular rides. However, individual ride leaders can create pop-up rides for any day and time.
The small size of some pop-up rides means we might be unable to split a ride if you get into difficulties. We will do all we can to escort you back to the start point, but please be prepared to navigate yourself home or to call for support from a partner, relative or friend.
