What's the Compton loop and how fast will you be riding?

Hi,

Set off to Rowland's Castle - through to Finchdean then drop down to Compton. Across to Funtington then down Watery Land, back through Woodmancote and Westborne, back through Havent then to the Victory club via the Eastern Road. Pretty flat really apart from the climb out of Finchdean.

Last time out we averaged 19 mph but no one gets left behind, likewise we expect if you're the next Wiggins that you have to wait for us. I say us, there's usually only two or three anyway. And as long as we get to the club before 8.30 then we're happy.

Come along, the more the merrier.

Could be interesting, haven't been out that way really before. Will see how I feel come Friday.

Unaccustomed as I am to Friday rides - I'm planning on joining you for your 'gentle ride' along the flats

Has anyone mapped the ride in MapMyRide or 'Garmined' it so I can look at the route?

Garmined! No not us Dave. Rich brought his mobile phone out once.

Look forward to seeing you on Friday.

Carl
