Meet at 0850 for an 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst.

This week a 122Km route north of the forest. As we get towards the winter rides not many opportunities to take the rides further afield so hopefully making the most of a half decent forecast this weekend.

Not required just yet but please start thinking about prepping your bikes with mudguards and winter tyres. Your fellow riders will thank you for sparing them the Belgian toothpaste and a reduced number of stops in the wet and cold.

Sunday Club Ride 29th September 2024

Meet as usual in Brookley Rd Car Park at 8.50 for a 9.00 A.M start.

Route Downloadable here: https://www.strava.com/routes/14884866

Quick note on this route: From Milkham inclosure to Redshute the road is particularly narrow but has regular passing places. Riding two-abreast will deter unsafe and illegal passes but we need to communicate well to ensure that we all use the passing places. Both, when there is oncoming traffic and equally when we have vehicles wishing to overtake. Watch out for oncoming traffic in case it fails to use the passing places and be ready to single-up quickly where necessary.

Finish as usual at Setley Ridge for coffee and post ride Carb-loading.

Forecast at the time of posting is reasonable so I hope to see a great turnout.

This week we will also introduce a new feature for the club ride. We will be having a sweepstake where you predict the point where Matt K’s Di2 fails and goes into single speed mode for the third week running. Prize is to watch him ride up the next hill in an inappropriate gear.
