Sunday 6 March Ride to Stansted

There were 2 Rides today a long Ride to West Meon with 4 out and this ride to Stansted with 5 out

On the Ride today were Harvey the leader, Maureen, Edwin and David and Michelle Sinclair. It was dry all day but it felt very cold with a strong NE wind. It was cloudy in the morning with gradually more sun in the afternoon. David was out with a new Electric Bike making Harvey the odd one out being the only one on the ride without an Electric Bike

Harvey led us up the Centurion Way coming off at Hunters Race and then back roads to West Stoke and past  Kingley Vale Car Park and quiet back roads to Funtington. Then a stretch of main road before turning off on a lane to the Woodmancote Pub for elevenses. We enjoyed the  large portions of cake they are well known for in the cycling community.

Then it was on via Westbourne and a lane to Aldsworth. Then on to lunch at Stansted House, Blossoms Garden Centre Café. After warming up over lunch we headed out and got ready for departure.

We retraced our route to Woodmancote and then got onto the South Coast Cycleroute via West Ashling Lane. Then it was onto Clay Lane back towards Chichester. When we regrouped I took a picture as the sun came out

Mileage from and back to Chichester was about 25.
