Return route to be decided on the day - either Cocking, Singleton or Bepton, South Harting and Ditcham. Total distance around 50 miles.

An ideal training ride for longer rides e.g 100kms Centenary ride.

Ride leader notes

I am about recovered from my accident in early September 2025, but am riding a recumbent trike to reduce the risk of falling. i am now slower, but trying to get back to longer rides. I have a new e-trike which is somewhat faster than the other one - around 11 mph

I record my speed on a Hammerhead Karoo bike computer and the speeds I give reflect what i have recorded over the past few months.

I 'm not keen on urban riding and prefer the countryside of the Downs to the north, west and east of us. Although I'm not a particularly good climber I don't shy away from hills as i think flat rides can be less interesting.

I sometimes lead morning only rides on a Friday for all-comers. On these rides I arrange groups to suit the pace of all riders.

I generally start my rides at the Spring Centre in Havant but will pick up on the route on request. I finish my rides here too although you are welcome to leave the ride elsewhere e.g.nearer to your home.



About Saturday rides

Saturday rides tend to be small ones. Typically we offer fewer options for rides than Wednesdays, but more flexibility for routes and destinations.

Most rides are morning only, riding out to a stop for elevenses and back again.

Some will be full day with stops for elevenses, lunch and, possibly, tea. If you want to join a full day ride but only to elevenses and need someone to help you with the route back, please let us know in advance of the ride in case someone else that knows the route wants to do the same.

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