Leave The Spring at 09:00hrs. 11’s at West Dean Stores where they do a very nice almond slice. Onwards then through the East Dean Valley, down Duncton Hill, Bignor and Bury to lunch at the Riverside Tea Room (which is becoming a popular destination). Then head up to Whiteways, Slindon, Lavant to Havant for three, where the ride terminates.

Fifty five miles or so with under 3k ascent (but it is hilly for those who are not familiar with the area). Our usual moderate pace.

Weather looking good but changeable. Should be another good day if it stays dry and everything goes to plan.

A light south wind on the way back.

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.
