Sorry about that.

Swanmore - Cheriton - Petersfield
50 miles

Start at Rowlands Castle at 09.30. Then make our way to Swanmore via Clanfield, Soberton, Swanmore to the Hunters Inn Pub to try out the £5.50 coffee/cake special for 11's - 15.5 miles.

Then proceed to Bishops Waltham, Upham, Cheriton and stop for lunch at The Flowerpots Inn - 30 miles.

After lunch, West Tisted, Privett, High Cross and descend into Petersfield via Stoner Hill, then usual way through Petersfield along The Causeway to Buriton cutting - 50 miles.

The ride will terminate at Clanfield. Should finish at approximately 3pm.

Average speed 12-12.5 mph - not too fast.
There are a few hills, but not too bad, ie. hill up to Sustainability Centre, and a hill at High Cross.

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.

This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
