Map
The annual President's Ride is an opportunity for the whole club to participate in a local ride that is inclusive and accessible to as many as possible:
- The ride is on Saturday to include members who work during weekdays.
- You can ride at your own pace, regrouping for elevenses, lunch and tea (and perhaps in between).
- The navigation is organised so that you needn't be concerned about going off-course.
- The whole day distance is short at 75 km (47 miles).
- The total ascent is less than 0.5% of the whole distance, ie the ride is flat.
This ride is a fun ride with a low challenge threshold; the aim is for all of us to get together and perhaps meet with riders that we rarely see on other club runs.

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.
