Meet at 0850 for an 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst.
Busy weekend in the forest expected as it’s the end of the half term holiday for many. Plan to avoid that as much as possible and head to the north a little for this week’s club ride. Plan for the core ride is a 118Km circuit to the north west and then the north east. Coffee stop planned at 66Km at The Potting Shed in Hyde.

With a sunny bank holiday weekend forecast the plan is to ride mainly outside of the forest in the hope of having less traffic to contend with. This week’s club ride is a 125Km ride to the north. Route can be found here:

After a couple of weeks with excursions out of the forest this week a chance to enjoy our local roads. Planned route is 125Km around the forest and with a splendid weather forecast plenty of opportunity for those wanting to extend. Planned route is here:

Scheduled coffee stop at the Community Shop in Minstead, this will be at 76Km so please ensure that you’ve food and drink to last that far. We will pass through Beaulieu so can top up water bottles at around 53Km if required.
Extra vigilance required on the forest roads this week, apart from the usual traffic, pony foals are being born as well as the stallions being out, so please keep awareness high and keep the groups tidy and compact.
Thanks

Bank holiday weekend so expecting higher volumes of traffic in the forest so plan this week is to take the ride out of the forest in search of relative tranquillity. Usual meet at 0850 for an 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst.
Planned route is 132 KM and reasonably lumpy. Plenty of opportunity for the club’s mileage monsters to round up to a century or a metric double with a decent weather forecast.
Coffee stop planned at 56Km at the Community Café in Broad Chalke.
We have the option to top up supplies at the Coop in Alderholt or make a small diversion if an extra stop required.
