This is an "alternative" ride to Trotton for anyone who doesn't want a full day's ride.
We'll aim to rendezvous at Trotton with Joy's slightly longer ride. We'll go out via South Harting and back over Ditcham Park.
Meet - Bumblebee cafe, RC: 09.15
Depart - Rowlands Castle: 09.30
Coffee - Aylings, Trotton: 11.15-12.00
Return - Rowlands: 13.30
Pace will be medium-fast( 10-12 mph).
We should be back in plenty of time for the rugby (Ireland v England), although after England loose you'll probably wish you'd stayed out for the day!

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