Winter Base Training – Week 7 (Saturday 18th Feb) – Long Hilly

With no chance of ice we can plan this week’s ride with confidence. It’s another one of the regular winter rides on a route called “Long Hilly”. Don’t be put off by the name it’s not too hard. There is one hard hill at Dean which we’ll all take at our own pace and re-group at the top. By my calculations about 2000 feet of climbing over the 50 miles. As we’re well into month two of base training we’ll be a little quicker than month 1. We’ll aim to average about 16MPH.
Meet point is Ashurst Station for a 0900 departure. Punctures / mechanicals permitting we should be back at Ashurst around 1200.

Ashurst, Bartley, Calmore, Hill Street, Kent’s Oak, Lockerley, East Dean, West Dean, Whiteparish, Redlynch, Woodgreen, Godshill, Frogham, Moyles Court, Linwood, Bolderwood, Lyndhurst.

Look forward to seeing a good turnout.
