Map
A leisurely-paced fairly flat ride out to the Dovecote Eatery at Cams Estate, Fareham for a late elevenses/early lunch snack. The weather forecast is showing sunny with a gentle breeze. The varied and scenic route will be using some cycle lanes and residential roads and is via Farlington Marshes, Cosham and Paulsgrove. Meet for a 9:45 start at the Havant Spring Centre, or 10:15 Farlington Marshes car park (Eastern Road), or at Hilsea bus rank 10:40 by arrangement. Approx 23 miles. Back by 14:15 ish. The Dovecote Eatery offers good value and variety and has a spacious covered area and an adjacent sheltered open area. Check out their website for further details of this rustic setting.

About Saturday rides
Rides usually 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.
Riders are free to join and leave the ride at various points. Some ride directly to the elevenses stop.
Saturday rides are (usually) much smaller than Wednesday rides. As a result they offer fewer options for rides but more flexibility for routes and destinations.
If you want to ride with us but only to elevenses and need someone to help you with the route back, please let us know in advance of the ride so we can try to arrange something for you.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
