Sunday Club Ride 29th September 2024

Meet as usual in Brookley Rd Car Park at 8.50 for a 9.00 A.M start.

Route Downloadable here: https://www.strava.com/routes/14884866

Quick note on this route: From Milkham inclosure to Redshute the road is particularly narrow but has regular passing places. Riding two-abreast will deter unsafe and illegal passes but we need to communicate well to ensure that we all use the passing places. Both, when there is oncoming traffic and equally when we have vehicles wishing to overtake. Watch out for oncoming traffic in case it fails to use the passing places and be ready to single-up quickly where necessary.

Finish as usual at Setley Ridge for coffee and post ride Carb-loading.

Forecast at the time of posting is reasonable so I hope to see a great turnout.

This week we will also introduce a new feature for the club ride. We will be having a sweepstake where you predict the point where Matt K’s Di2 fails and goes into single speed mode for the third week running. Prize is to watch him ride up the next hill in an inappropriate gear.

Avoiding road closures for the NF Marathon and the drift leaves us with few route options this week.

Usual Watering-hole finish.

At the time of writing the forecast could go either way.

I'm away 'holidaying' in a damp shed in Snowdonia this weekend but hope to hear of another great turnout.

Club Ride – 7th September 2024

 

Change of plan to the usual. Anyone that turns up at 0850 will instantly be in the barrel this week!

Meet at 0820 for an 0830 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst. This week a longer than usual ride and we’re indebted to Graham for the route. This course was used earlier in the year when a large cohort were away in Italy and was popular with those that rode it.

The full route is 165Km but for those wanting a regular ride there will be a second depart from Moyles Court at 0920.

Coffee stop planned for The View Coffee Shop Milton Abbas at around 80Km (from the Brockenhurst start) so please ensure you have enough supplies to keep you going for the first 3 hours or so.

Pace will be kept at a level to suit the group(s).

Long range forecast for Saturday is fine, check the usual sites on Friday for any last minute changes of plan if the forecast changes dramatically.
