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.
Bookings for this ride/event
Booking is required for this ride. Please let the ride leader know if you want to join. Please do not turn up for the ride unless you've had your booking confirmed or your name appears below.
The ride leader might increase the size of the ride, especially if they get support from another ride leader. Please don't be put off asking to join the ride if it shows as full.
This ride is currently full but we encourage you to ask to join the wait list. That will let the ride leader:
- Find out the demand for that type of ride
- Nominate you as a replacement if someone drops out
- Arrange to split the ride if there is sufficient demand

Ride leader notes
I enjoy riding my bike & drinking coffee :-)
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.
