Club Ride – 27th April 2024

 

ADVANCE NOTICE - 27th April - In the absence of Barry and most people called Phill, it is proposed to run a slightly different NFCC Saturday club ride. Meeting at Moyles Court (if you don’t want to ride over, plenty of parking by the ford or the side road by the school), the plan is to ride a Milton Abbas loop, via Blandford and looping back via Wimborne. It’s a beautiful route, I rode it recently and the roads are in reasonable shape. Meet 09.10am at Moyles Court for an 09.20 start. Coffee stop planned at “The View” coffee shop. And of course, a second coffee shop is always an option. Route is approx. 122km, first coffee stop at about 56km. Route at https://www.strava.com/routes/3215249589887431136 or https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2588004?units=km
NB any queries 07526 555917

I am away at the clubs training camp in Italy for the next two Sundays. If we have another high turnout please ensure that there is at least one group running at a slower pace and that it remains a strictly No-Drop group. Play nice and see you in a few weeks.

 Sunday Club Ride 14th April 2024

Meet as usual in Brookley rd car park at 8.50 for a 9.00 a.m start.

With the New Forest classic event on this weekend our route avoids what are likely to be the busiest and most congested roads (and hopefully the angry and dangerous drivers). Although it does pass through Lyndhurst so...!

Route downloadable here https://www.strava.com/routes/3213057458555919340

Finish at Setley ridge as per.

Forecast is good so I hope to see a great turnout.

p.s Still time to get tickets for Saturday nights club 90th anniversary dinner. You know you want to.

Club Ride – 13th April 2024

 

As there is a major sportive in the forest this weekend, plan this Saturday is to take the club ride out of the forest and out of the way of that ride. Route has been planned to keep us away from that as much as possible. Scheduled route is a 129KM ride to the north and can be found here:

Coffee stop planned halfway at Boughton Community Shop.

Usual meet, 0850 for 0900 depart from main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst.

Forecast good and a lot less challenging than last week.

Club Ride – 6th April 2024

 

The forecast for very high winds has abated so we can plan a regular club ride this Saturday. It will still be windy and challenging so please take extra care keeping the pelotons tight and watching out for sudden crosswinds.

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

Planned route is 118Km and can be found here: https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2573706?units=km

The route has been kept close to home and with multiple loops so we can make changes should conditions dictate.

Coffee stop planned halfway at Steff’s in Beaulieu. With a 15-16C forecast it might even be pleasant sitting in the garden at the café for the first time on a long time.

Club Ride – 6th April 2024

 

Plan for this week’s club ride deferred until Friday morning due to forecast of high winds. If the forecast abates then I’ll plan a normal club ride, if not then either a shorter non-stop ride that will be scheduled to give everyone time to get home before the 40MPH+ winds or a gravel ride. Plan will be posted by 1100 Friday.
