Map
Tangmere Military Aviation Museum closes at the end of November for a couple of months, so there's not many opportunities left this year to pay a visit.
I always enjoy a visit there as we soak up the historic aviation atmosphere and it's particularly poignant this time of year as we remember "the few". The Few
It's a fairly flattish route there and back, about 25 miles round trip.
Pace is medium (9-10mph).

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.
