Leave The Spring at nine for a not so easy longer ride to The Old Piggery Tearoom at Selsey. A longer route, flat with some tracks but nothing too bad.
The route back is via Westbourne.
Back at Havant for one pm or thereabouts where the ride terminates.
39 miles.
N.B. My Easy Friday Rides have evolved into Not So Easy Friday Rides: longer, faster, and now possibly hillier. Different to the published definition of an easy ride; they are longer & faster and possibly hillier depending on the route. If in doubt feel free to contact me for more information to find out if this ride is for you.

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.
