Winchester Improvers challenge series: 1 of 4

This is the first in a series of four rides, which gradually increase in distance from 25 miles to 40 miles. The series is challenging and aimed at experienced cyclists, or those wishing to take the next step and extend their riding distance/pace. The series offers the opportunity to have a go at something that might be a little faster or further than you may be used to.

The overall distance of this route is just under 25 miles and we will be averaging 12-13mph, so you need to be confident that you can maintain the pace over the distance and that you have a suitable road bicycle. There are undulations on this route but no major hills.

We will be stopping for a drink and cake at the Little Kitchen Bistro at Winchester Golf Academy on the way back to Kings Worthy, which is just over 21 miles into the ride, so bring something to eat and drink along the way if you need it. As always, don't forget to bring the following essentials: clothing appropriate for the weather; puncture repair kit; spare inner tube(s); pump or gas cartridge. Should the weather forecast appear to be of concern, I will cancel the ride, so do ensure you have provided a mobile number on your booking so that I can send a text, which may not be until the Friday evening prior to the ride – cancellation is a last resort!
