Map
Shorter version of the Hangers tour. 15 miles, but last 3 is down hill, so 1500 ft in 12 miles.
Leave the full route at Priors Dean, so miss out Slade Farm, Colemore and east Meon loops
I have not been out much recently so it may be slow. or use the Cytronex front hub motor more !!
Leave Red Lion 10.45 to avoid the rush of the main group.
The 'led ride' will finish at Bell Hill (just as going into P'fld); near bridge over A3. Easy route all the way back to Red Lion.

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.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
