Map

A short themed ride through Portsmouth. We’ll visit a number of sites across Portsmouth, some obvious, others less so, all of which have links to our literary heritage.

Meet 9am Farlington Marshes. We’ll have a coffee stop part way through the ride, and finish with lunch probably at Cosham (actual venue to be decided).

The ride is a short distance and easy pace. I will be leading the ride, but it will involve city roads and we may at times get split up at junctions and in traffic so it will be important that you have a GPS (or similar) so that you can follow the route and catch up if necessary.

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.

This ride is currently full but we encourage you to ask to join the wait list. That will let the ride leader:

  • Nominate you as a replacement if someone drops out
  • Arrange to split the ride if there is sufficient demand

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.
