This our first attempt to organise a set of Wednesday rides following the proposal set out here. More details in the 'About Wednesday rides' section below.
It makes use of the extended pop-up ride mechanism together with new services to allow PCTC members and non-members to register an interest in riding on Wednesday, 19th May. Please let me know if you see any problems or issues.
Please consider registering yourself to:
- Let ride leaders know what demand there is for rides
- Allow us to manage rides so that you get the best chance of joining the kind of ride you want
There's no commitment to ride.
To book a place on a ride or add yourself to a wait list, please contact the ride's leader via the list below. For general queries, including advice on a suitable ride, please contact Andy Henderson.So far we have organised the following ride(s) for Wednesday 19 May 2021:

About Wednesday rides
Wednesday is our most popular day for riding. On any given Wednesday, it's likely you'll see a range of different rides. The most common start point is the Havant Spring Centre, although ride leaders can select alternatives if they want.
Rides are usually half-day or full-day.
Half day rides are usually morning rides to a stop for elevenses and back again.
Full day rides stop for elevenses, lunch and sometimes tea. It's possible there will be a rider coming back to the start after elevenses - although they might not be a formal 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 if that's what you need.
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.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
