Wildflower ride to Farlington & Northney

This will a repeat of the Wildflower ride occurring on Sunday 4th July. It is a short, flat ride to note newly blossoming wild flowers along the Farlington Marshes cycleway and at Northney, Hayling Island. We will look for pyramidal orchids, selfheal, waterlilies and other interesting wild flowers. There will be several pauses to admire the wildflowers and, perhaps, to take photos. We will ride from Bidbury to the N end of Eastern road, then to Langstone and Woodgaston Road, Northney. After that we will retrace to The Salt Shack cafe, on Hayling. (www.saltshackcafe.co.uk) where we will have late 11ses, or lunch. Then we will return to Bidbury, having ridden a total of about 15 miles. Those with an "i-spy wildflowers" book may collect over 100 points for new spots!!

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.
