Club Ride – Saturday 1st June

This weeks route will be one of our well used routes north to the Chalke Valley. Some of the riders that are doing TINAT will peel off at the café in Broad Chalke and add another 200+ Km (yes really) as part of their training so excuse them if they draft on the way out.

Out via Rhinefield, Moyles Court, Fordingbridge and then north. Option to cut short at Moyles Court on the way back if anybody wants a slightly shorter ride.

Sunday Club Ride 12th May 2019

With so many clubmates away at various events last Sunday I don't think anyone followed last weeks route so I'll post this one again.

This weeks ride leaves via Burley rd then turns towards Wootton via station rd. We take middle rd through before meeting the B3055 and crossing then take shirley holms rd to cross the A337 just north of Lymington. We cross the road after a short time up the hill to Boldre, Pilley and then Norleywood. Then North to East Boldre, South to St Leonards before heading North once more towards Beaulieu. From here we take the Beaulieu rd back into Brockenhurst for the 50K route.

Forecast is good so hope to see a good turnout.

NFCC Club Ride – Saturday 4th May

This weeks club ride will follow a route north to the Chalke Valley into a headwind for the first couple of hours and hopefully get the benefit of a tailwind after the coffee stop. Usual meet at 0850 for an 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst.

Out via Bolderwood, Red Shoot, Moyles Court and heading north through Fordingbridge and Whitsbury before heading to Coombe Bissett and Broach Chalke for the coffee stop. Then back south to Sandleheath, Alderholt ad back into the forest at Ibsley. Then short cut if anybody wants one back to Brock or for the main 102Km route a loop around Crow and Burley. Then for those that want the mega mileage we can add another loop onto that.

Having trouble with Strava maps today so have used a different site to create the route so give me feedback on Saturday on how this site works with your Garmin / Wahoo / whatever.
