SUNDAY CLUB RIDE CANCELLED
Sorry all but with freezing conditions following Saturdays forecast of sleet and snow Sunday is likely to be too dangerous for group riding.
Next weeks conditions look a bit better so hopefully see a good turn out then

Due to inclement weather no club ride this Saturday. Forecast of very high winds makes a peloton type ride unviable. I was hoping to revert to a gravel ride but we are due sleet and low temperatures so there is a risk, albeit a small one, of ice on the roads connecting the gravel paths so reluctantly no ride this Saturday.

Meet as usual in Brookley Rd car park, Brockenhurst at 8.50 for a 9.00 a.m start.
As the weather is still on our side we will use one of the slightly longer routes out to the Northern badlands.

Great to see another high turn out last weekend and the new slower group being well supported.
Finish the ride with coffee at The Terrace in Brock.

Usual meet at 0850 for an 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst.
Weather forecast is set fair so we should be able to get a decent length ride in again this week. Another lumpy route with a gratuitous loop to add Pipers Wait in at the end. Total planned distance 110Km but there is an option to take out the final loop across Ocknell’s Plain and Bransgore for anyone wanting a slightly shorter option.

Weather forecast is set fair so we should be able to get a reasonable length ride in this week. We can make the most of the weather and enjoy the splendour of the autumn leaves as the forest canopy has gone through a beautiful transition this week.
So planned route is fairly lumpy 97Km around the forest with a mid-ride stop at The Potting Shed in Hyde which was so impressive last week with both food and service.

Weather forecast is massively better than last week. Kudos to the riderS who turned out last week, never expected numbers to get into double figures with that forecast.
This weeks planned route is 93Km loop to the north of the forest. Mid ride coffee stop at around 57Km at The Potting Shed in Hyde as we were all impressed with the food and the service last time

Winter pace, winter tyres and mudguards order of the day if you are so equipped.
