Club Ride - Saturday 29th July

I'll leave it to the regular riders to plan a route this week as I'll be away.

Suggest meet as usual at Brock 0900 Saturday and pick one of the previous routes.

Chain Gang - Thursday 27th June

Chain gang will be running as usual this week. Departing form Brockenhurst at 1900.

I have had a thought about alternative courses for the chain gang and now that the resurfacing of the airfield road from Janesmoor Pond across Ocknell's Plain has bedded down thought that might make a good alternative. Road is pretty quiet in the evening and the wind makes the chain gang training important and effective. I'd appreciate others thoughts on this. The road is 2.5 miles long and it would give riders the opportunity to drop off and re-join if the pace was too high and the option for doing as many loops as riders wanted. Car park at Janesmoor Pond would make a good meeting point.

Please share your thoughts and if there's a consensus we can start alternating the course.

I'll be missing Thursday 4th and 11th but happy to make those changes from the 18th.

Thursday Night Chain Gang - 13th June

Chain Gang will be running tomorrow as usual. Depart form Brockenhurst at 1900 sharp.

The weather forecast is for the showers to clear by 18/1900 so hopefully a clear ride. Please bring lights and something hi vis though as there are no guarantees of timings.

Depart form Brockenhurst at 0900 Saturday as usual.
