A Friday Evening Ride to Stokes Bay Sailing Club for food, beer & live music.
Depart Micks Burger Van Portsdown Hill at 5pm
Via Wickham and Swanwick to Warsash, then back along the coast to Stokes Bay Sailing Club.
- Food is £7 per person; choice of Fried Chicken strips, Scampi or Sausage, all with chips (needs to be booked and paid for by Wed 2nd Sept)

Route is 42km with 262m of climbing (6m/Km) and has a 1.4Km off road section.
We need to arrive at Stokes Bay for 7pm. If you want to join the ride but can't manage distance at this pace there are two options:
- Depart Portsdown Hill earlier than 5pm and we will catch up with you
- Use a shorter route which I will provide for you
In both cases you will need to be able to self navigate.

Ride leader notes
My preference is for longer rides at a steady pace, with an afternoon pub stop whenever possible.
I might be riding a geared bike or single speed depending on weather and who I'm riding with.
I also enjoy touring and taking part in audax events.
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.
