Map

An undulating ride through East Meon, and Froxfield to Selborne where we will stop for coffee after 17 miles. From there the ride takes the quiet route out through Oakhangar, East Worldham & Wyck to approach Alton from the East, arriving after another 12 miles. Lunch can be taken at the wonderful Bottega dei Sapori or the 'Departure Lounge' on the other side of town. The return leg passes through Medstead, Bighton and West Meon, where tea can be taken if so wished. Total distance back to Denmead 87 km (54 miles) with 1250m of ascent.

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.
