Map

This is a one-stop-ride to Fort Nelson.

As ever it will be a slightly asymmetrical ride, with a slightly longer route there and a shorter route back.

Meet - Bumblebee Cafe, Rowlands Castle: 09.15
Depart - Rowlands: 09.30
Coffee - Fort Nelson: 11.00-11.40
Return - Rowlands: 13.00

There are some hills; one on the way back is short but particularly nasty.

The pace for the ride will be military medium (8-10mph) - well we are going to a fort!

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.
