Thursday Night Chain Gang - 1st August

Chain gang this week will be back on the Fritham Airfield Road as it was two weeks ago. Start time 1900 and will run for 45-60 minutes depending on whether we have energy for 3 or 4 repeats.

Start point will be at the Stoney Cross / Janesmoor Pond end of the road where it meets Forest Road but feel free to join any time and anywhere along the road.

Hope to see another good Thursday night turnout. As ever all abilities welcome. Especially a this route allows riders to drop off and rejoin on every leg.

Club Ride - Saturday 27th July

Plan for this weeks club ride is deliberately a bit fluid as the weather forecast is for showers I want the opportunity to give riders the chance to cut short if they wish.

Plan is for 0900 depart form Brockenhurst.
Rhinefield, Bolderwood, Red Shoot, Hyde.
Back through Moyles Court, Ringwood, Braggers Burley.
Burley Lawn, A35, second climb of Bolderwood, Emery Down, Lyndhurst, Beaulieu, Hatchet Pond and Brock.

Should be 55 miles and just over 3 hours.

Make sure you've got a jacket and hope to a good turnout.

Don't worry about the rain and remember rule 5 and rule 9

Thursday Night Chain Gang - 25th July

This week the chain gang will be back to the Brockenhurst / Burley loop. Depart from St Saviours Church in Brock at 1900 sharp.

Last weeks trip up and down the airfield road at Fritham was a good alternative and we'll plan to alternate courses for the next few weeks.

All welcome

Chain Gang - Thursday 18th July

Chain Gang will be running again this Thursday but on a different course. We're going to try out the airfield road between Forest Road and the Red Shoot to Bolderwood Road. Meet at Janesmoor Pond Car Park for 1900 depart. Janesmoor Pond is on Forest Road between Stoney Cross and the Fritham turning.

The airfield road was resurfaced a few weeks ago and will give as 2.5 miles each way for as many circuits as we want. If riders fall off thay can wait for the returning pack and rejoin.

Plan to see if this road works better than our Burley loop and maybe alternate between the two.

Hope to see you Thursday.

As ever all abilities welcome.
