| Today's ride is some 40 miles, and the lunch stop is almost exactly halfway into the ride, so don't overdo the refreshments etc in the pub. There are no hills on today's ride but pace yourself and leave enough energy for the return journey. Please read your notes thoroughly this week, as the route is not obvious in places. Leave the Ship and head towards Havant going straight across the roundabout and the following set of lights. Turn right just before McDonalds (1.0). Make your way through the shopping precinct and out onto the old Emsworth road. Follow this road to the traffic lights where you turn left onto Southleigh road (1.7).
