Map
The aim of this ride is to identify the wildflowers we see. Pace will be moderate. Ride starts and finishes at Bidbury Recreation ground in Bedhampton, where there is free parking and public toilets. We'll start by looking in the churchyard beside the recreation ground.
Riders are invited to bring with them the i-spy Book of Wildflowers and a pen, with which to record the flowers we spot. (If you came on any of last year's flower rides, the same book is fine.)
There will be one refreshment stop half way round at Bosham.
We'll go to Bosham via Havant centre, Emsworth and Nutbourne and the cycleway beside the A259. Return route is through Woodmancote, Westbourne and Warblington. Length of this ride will be about 20 miles.

Ride leader notes
I joined PCTC in 1986 and have enjoyed club rides ever since. I have two Mercian touring road bikes, a Trek hybrid and a carbon -fibre Specialized Ruby racing bike.
I am considering buying an electric bike, as I find hills a bit tiring now. My usual average moving speed is 10 to 11mph. If I'm riding in the urban environment and have to keep stopping, or if it's very hilly, my average may drop below 10mph.
Although I used to do a lot of long distance rides (Audax PBP & LEL, S.R. Le JoG, etc. I generally prefer rides of 30 to 50 miles these days. A refreshment stop is a must!
About Pop-up rides
We have certain days when we try to organise regular rides. However, individual ride leaders can create pop-up rides for any day and time.
The small size of some pop-up rides means we might be unable to split a ride if you get into difficulties. We will do all we can to escort you back to the start point, but please be prepared to navigate yourself home or to call for support from a partner, relative or friend.
