Ride leader notes
I ride a Thorn touring cycle and prefer to lead or participate in rides at a more leisurely pace of 10-11 miles per hour.
I prefer the shorter day or half day rides or local short tours. I do enjoy going off road and do not mind hills as long as there aren't too many of them.
About easy rides
Our easy rides are designed to be an introduction to club riding. You needn't be concerned about whether you can manage the pace or distance. The easy rides are leisurely and informal. They go at the pace of the slowest rider. We will not leave you behind. If necessary we will split the ride to ensure everyone enjoys it.
The ride is designed for people of average fitness and is open to everyone. There’s no charge for joining the ride. You’ll be riding for two to three hours with a break in the middle at a tea shop. We’ll be using dedicated cycle tracks and cycle lanes wherever possible. We’ll also be using country lanes and back streets.
Inevitably, though, you will be travelling in traffic for part of the way, so the ride is not suitable for people that are uncomfortable cycling on the road.
Cycling is a great way to improve health and well-being, and you’ll find we're a friendly bunch. We’d love to see you.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you.

Hello, I would like to register my interest in coming along on Wednesday to try out the 'slower' ride. I'm a regular cyclist, however, I normally stick to cycle paths in Fareham but feel its time to venture out into 'the big wide world!'
I'm not familiar with Havant so could you please confirm if there is adequate parking at the Spring and Arts heritage centre.
Many thanks

Hi Julie, it would be great if you can join us. There is a Pay and Display car park right next to the Spring Centre. There is another ride starting at 9:15 so make sure you join the right one!
