I have pleasure in setting out below the ride schedule, for daytime and evening rides, from now until the first week of October. Most of the rides leave from Wickham Square, but please note that a few rides leave from Ower Services, near J2 of the M27. The times noted are the “departure times” so please arrive ahead of that point.
It is possible, that due to circumstances that the destination venue might change at short notice, for that reason, it is helpful to let the ride leader, or me, know in advance that you plan to attend, particularly if you plan to go direct to the destination independently.
