This weeks route takes us up and down the Col de Bolderwood before nurdling around Mistead, Bartley and Ashurst before returning via Beaulieu and Hatchett pond.

Club Ride Saturday 26th November 2022

 

Meet at 0850 for a 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst as usual. This week’s ride a 100Km forest loop with a mid-ride coffee stop at Steff’s in Beaulieu. Route can be found at https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2093383?units=km

Don’t worry about the long stretch on the A35 between Lyndhurst and Ashurst. There is a cycle path alongside the road that is totally suitable for road bikes and road tyres.

Weather forecast is fair so it will be winter pace, avoid getting hot and sweaty and then rapidly cooling and hopefully enjoy a hot drink and some hot food at Steff’s Kitchen.

Look forward to another strong turnout

Weather forecast is fine but a little colder than recent weeks so expect to see fewer bare legs this week! Definitely time to drop to winter pace so riders keep warm but don’t get hot and sweaty.

Club Ride Saturday 5th November 2022

 

Meet at 0850 for a 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst as usual. This week’s ride will be a 101Km to the east and north of the region.

The roads will be wet again this week so please get those mudguards and winter tyres fitted if you haven’t already. As the weather forecast is not favourable, I’ve kept the route close to home, so we’ve options to cut short if it scores too high on the Phil Harris misery index.

 

Route at:

Coffee stop planned for Steff’s in Beaulieu at 65Km where we might have to make use of their umbrellas!

 

Hope to see a few hardy souls out
