NFCC Club Ride – Saturday 9th February – OFF ROAD

Once again, the weather is against us and the high winds forecast for Saturday means that a bunch road ride is not an option. So, revert to our plan B and get the MTB / Cross bikes out and we’ll head out on the trails. Meet at the usual place behind Sainsburys in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst at 0850 for an 0900 depart.

Out via Sway Road and then onto the old railway towards Wootton Bridge (hopefully good for those coming from the south west who want to meet en route.

Then though the enclosure just after Wootton Bridge to Holmsley, cross the A35 and then thought the next enclosure. Back onto the old railway, Castle Hill, Picket Post, Linford and then on the trail back to the A31 bridge. Cross the road and onto Ocknells Plain, Fritham, Abbotswell Ridge, Frogham, Ogdens (optional coffee stop at Hockeys or we can carry forward to the end). Then back via the back of Red Shoot, Bolderwood and one last off road section at Brockhill. Total of 75Km but options to cut short for those that wish.

Pace to suit those with the slowest bikes!
