Trotton AM (All-comers Ride)

This is the monthly Friday morning all-comers ride usually organised by Joy, who’s away (again 😀) so you’ve got me as organiser!

Meet at the Spring Centre, Havant for a casual ride out to Trotton for coffee, cake and a natter.

I need a couple of willing(!) volunteers to lead groups, so if you're willing please let me know. Leaders to pick there own routes.

As usual I’m expecting a lovely sunny spring morning, as I’m ever the optimist 😊.

Return expected approx 1.00pm (ish) - Don’t forget you can also attend the early breakfast at Langbrook Farm run by Phil Bead from 8.00am to give you a good start to the day - just leave room for cake later!

Ride leader notes

Riding a lightweight road bike (during better months) the faster day rides I lead are typically 100-130km (60-80m) and occasionally 160km (100m).

Routes are at best undulating, usually “lumpy” (hilly), sometimes with severe hills!

- Average GOOD speed on “Faster” rides: 23kph (14mph)
- Average TYPICAL speed on “Faster” rides: 21kph (13mph)

Morning only rides are scaled back versions of day rides, usually at the same pace.

I also lead moderate rides as well, where the terrain difficulty is reduced (not so lumpy!) and the speed is adjusted to those attending the ride.

When I lead Waterlooville Community Cycle Club (WCCC) rides, which are generally easy relaxed rides, the pace is that of the slowest attending rider in the group.

About all-comers rides

These are half day rides for all members. They are moderate or more demanding rides (we also run easy rides for people unsure of their capabilities). Depending on numbers we split into groups to accommodate different speeds

Originally, we didn't ask you to book to join these rides, but that proved difficult to administer. We now ask you to let us know you're coming. The ride is still unlimited, however.
