A Waterlooville Community Cycling Club (WCCC) relaxing ride out to Stansted, Prinsted and Emsworth.
We meet at 8.45am for a 9.00am start from Napier Hall, Horndean.
The route is approximately 34km (21m) with no steep ascents and a mix of roads, cycle paths and including a short gravel section - avoiding busy routes as much as possible.
We'll stop for coffee either at Prinstead's Marina Cafe or Emsworth, deciding on the day.
The ride is suitable for those returning to cycling, but you should be used to riding the proposed distance and have a bike that is well prepared for the ride. The route is shown on the link above which can also be downloaded for use on the day.
We should be back by about 1.00pm at Napier Hall. Please let me know if you have any questions.

About Waterlooville CCC rides
We have established a Community Cycling club for Waterlooville - a series of cycle rides in the Waterlooville area for people who are new to group riding or who haven't cycled for a while. All are circular routes in moderate terrain that avoid steep inclines but may include a steeper descent. As far as possible we will avoid busy roads. Routes are all less than 50km long (most substantially less). Our aim is to make cycling enjoyable, safe and welcoming for all.
