Sunday Club Ride 22nd September 2019


Meet at main car park in Brookley Rd, Brockenhurst 8.50 a.m for a 9.00 a.m start.
This week’s ride heads west out of Brock via Burley rd then turns left down to the B3055. Turn right before taking the left turn along Pitmore lane. Follow Pitmore down to Sway Rd to meet the A337.  After a brief and joyless ride north  we exit the road of doom with a right turn up Boldre lane to unsurprisingly Boldre. According to Wikipedia Boldre boasts a pub and used to have a school and a post office, 'the post box can still be seen today' which should make it all feel worthwhile. After we have taken the selfies here we move onwards to Pilley and then Norleywood.  North to East Boldre, South to St Leonards before heading North once more towards Beaulieu. From here we hope for a rare tailwind along Beaulieu rd back into Brockenhurst home of Brockenhurst F.C known by both of their fans as The Badgers. Interestingly The Badgers scored 29 consecutive penalties in a shoot out, an English footballing record. Yay..
Despite not having a shred of evidence to support it I anticipate glorious weather. Enjoy.
Details of the route are downloadable here;
