Map
This morning-only ride will start at 10am from The Spring, Havant. We will ride to the pub at Woodmancote for elevenses, going via Southleigh Road cycleway and Westbourne.
From Woodmancote we head in the Chichester direction, taking 2nd right through Hambrook to the A259. We will have to ride a short distance on the A259 before a cycleway materialises. We will pause for a group photo at the Nutbourne sign.
Lastly we ride through Emsworth back to Havant, returning to The Spring by 1pm.
Route mainly flat, but there are one or two undulations.

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.
