Good Friday AM - Aldingbourne (All-Comers Ride)

This is the monthly Friday morning ride usually organised by Joy. This month Joy's away so I've been nominated instead!

Meet at the Spring Centre, Havant for a casual ride out to Aldingbourne for coffee and the all important cake. Normal routes dependant on numbers and leaders choices.

Note: I need a couple of volunteers to lead groups, so if you're willing please let me know.

Hopefully we'll have a lovely sunny spring morning to welcome in the Easter weekend before anyone eats to much chocolate!

Return expected approx 1.00pm - Oh, and don't forget you can also attend the early breakfast at Langbrook Farm run by Phil Bead from 8.00am to give you a good start to the day (Breakfast Details).

Check out Laid-back Aldingbourne via Fishbourne RP if you’d like a later start and a lunch visit to Aldingbourne. Run by Trish Farnham (Please let me know if you change rides) 😊.

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.
