All Practice Rides

A 15 Mile Practice Ride

A light return ride to the Coal Exchange in Emsworth via West Ashling.

A relatively flat, family-friendly ride, taking you to Bosham harbour, then back home via the Richmond Arms in West Ashling.

A gentle ride, maybe for the family, that goes toward Chichester and takes in the Centurion Way Pedestrian & Cycle Way. No hills worth mentioning. Pub stop is the Wetherspoons (Lloyds) pub Chichester.

First decent hill of the new season Pub stop Barley Mow Walderton

A simple route with the introduction of some small climbs. Pub stop is the Travellers Rest, Newtown

A good starter 31m ride.

This is a pretty ride, taking you out towards the South Downs and does include a long drag uphill, a very fast downhill and a steep climb. Pub stop is the Fountain Inn at Rowlands Castle .

A good early spring ride. It's not too flat, though neither is it too hilly. Pub stop is the Hare & Hounds Stoughton.

A long ride, but flat. A trip to The Arun View pub in Littlehampton. Good practice for the C2C ride in a couple of weeks.

A tasty little ride that takes you through some lovely wooded areas and up and down some interesting hills. Pub stop is the Fox Goes Free at Charlton.

For those that did not wish to travel to Weston Super Mare , but still want to join the event. Day two notes as for the C2C ride.

For those that could not spare the Saturday to participate in the Channel to Channel in any way, here is a ride to go on and meet the rest of the gang.

A gentle flat ride to Oving with lunch at the Gribble Inn.

A great ride with some significant & long climbs and some great views. The 'official' pub stop is The Fox Goes Free. *********************************************************************************** NOTE: If you want to get your fitness up to a reasonable standard for the main ride, you should be riding more miles than just doing the featured Sunday ride by now. Try doing one of the earlier rides mid week, or before the main ride on Sunday.

This established popular bike ride is now in it's 12th year.

A very challenging alternative to the Round The Harbours ride

New ride - Liphook (Pub The Green Dragon)

Although this is not organised by the Paris to Hayling Charity Cycle Ride, this makes a great practice ride for our main event. This ride includes 6 ferry crossings and the coasts between Portsmouth and Lymington and, on the Isle of Wight, between Yarmouth and Fishbourne via Freshwater and Cowes.

A ride favourite: this is a ride with some significant, though manageable, climbs and some stunning scenery. It's definitely a ride for a clear and warm, not hot, sunny day. Pub stop is the Flower Pots.

The same ride as we did at the begining of May - but it should be easier this time, because you should be fitter!

The last (and first - see 2nd March) route. A light return ride to the Barley Mow and back.

A pleasant ride to this lovely spot, with a big garden. A chance to meet again.

Our annual 'Santa' Ride. We all dress as Father and Mother Christmas on a Sunday before the festival and wend our merry way around East Hampshire and West Sussex - there were over 60 of us last year! There is also a plan do some some fundraising in connection with St Richard's Hospital as a part of this event.
