A morning only ride to West Dean for Coffee taking the "long way around" and the short(er) route back! Note: This is NOT a faster ride!

Initially starting from the Spring Centre but dependant on who attends - various pick-up points as required.

Straight forward route out to South Harting via Westbourne and Compton. Then taking the Treyford/Bepton road to Cocking before dropping back down to West Dean.

Two "hills" on route of note, the Compton - South Harting and Cocking Hill gradual climbs. Return approx 1.00pm.

Hopefully the weather holds...

About Saturday rides

Rides usually 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.

Riders are free to join and leave the ride at various points. Some ride directly to the elevenses stop.

Saturday rides are (usually) much smaller than Wednesday rides. As a result they offer fewer options for rides but more flexibility for routes and destinations.

If you want to ride with us but only to elevenses and need someone to help you with the route back, please let us know in advance of the ride so we can try to arrange something for you.
