Green Week & Bike Week Family Fun Ride!

Event Details

  • We’ve just discovered the Community Centre café is closed for refurbishment – depending on what people want to do at the end, we’ll suggest somewhere close by, perhaps West Town Inn or Three Bean Café, or buy something at Tesco’s and eat in the park.

Join us on Sunday 9th June for our Green Week & Bike Week Family Fun Ride!

We’ll have a very gentle 3 mile family fun ride, for everyone from 5 to 95 – we’ll go at the speed of the slowest! More adventurous riders could add a ride down the Billy Trail.

It’s one of our events for Havant Green Week (Sat 8th – Sun 16th June) & Cycling UK Bike Week (Mon 10th – Sun 16th June)
And you can’t get much greener than a Green Week bike ride!

Free ice cream for the best blinged bike and the best young rider!

  • Start and finish at the Hayling Community Centre
  • Meet there at 10:30am, Sunday 9-June.
  • We’ll have a very quick bike check and safety briefing.
  • Then we’ll ride very gently on cycle paths and Hayling’s quieter roads to the beach near Chichester Avenue.
  • We’ll have a little rest there, maybe you’ll want to buy an ice cream.
  • Then we’ll ride along the beach tracks, and then to the top of the Billy Trail.
  • More adventurous riders could add their own ride down the Billy Trail.
  • We’ll finish back at the Community Centre in Hayling Park, with a chance to buy an ice cream, coffee, lunch or a picnic if you bring your own.
  • We’ve just discovered the café there is closed for refurbishment – we’ll find somewhere close, perhaps West Town Inn or Three Bean Café.
  • And you’ll be part of Hayling’s second ever CycleBus !

A few important conditions:

  • You ride at your own risk!
  • Under 16’s must bring a responsible adult.
  • Check your bikes first – see cyclehayling.org/checks.
  • E-bikes, e-cargo bikes and trailers welcome.
  • Expect a few rough surfaces.
  • We’ll try and help with bike problems, but we’ll be short on tools, spares and time.
  • We think helmets are a good idea, especially for kids, but it’s your choice.
  • Leave the ride the ride at any point – but please tell us!

Run jointly by Cycle Hayling and Portsmouth CTC (Cycle Touring Club).
