Ride to the north of the forest and a few loops around the north of the area. Total distance 115Km. Going to be a hilly route so pace might be a little slower than recent weeks

Two notes for this weeks chain gang
From this week and for all of May 1845 start
Given the situation with the roadworks around Holmsley we’ll use the B3055 course between Roundhill campsite and Hatchet Pond. Start point will be the junction of the B3055 and the road to the campsite. Plan for 3 repeats of the route and around 45 minutes as last week.
As it’s a bank holiday weekend and a decent weather forecast expecting the forest to be busier than usual so this week the club ride will head north out of the forest and hopefully have less traffic to share the roads with.
Meet at 0850 for a 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst as usual.
Route is 111Km and can be found at:

Coffee stop is later than usual at 84Km so make sure you’ve got enough food to get there as it will be 1200 before we get to The Coffee Pot at Hyde.

This week we’ll use the flat course that we used couple of weeks back between Roundhill campsite and Hatchet Pond on the B3055. Appreciate feedback from riders as to whether this course is preferred or the usual Burley loop or whether alternating it is more interesting.
Meet at the campsite road at 1830 and plan for 3 out and back legs to Hatchet Pond.
If numbers are high and speed increases during the legs expect the ride to fragment into two or more smaller groups as we go on. Don’t worry if it happens to you it is normal for the chain gang.
Hope to see another good turnout
PS, next week and for May the start time will move to 1845

Route heads north this week for a there and back inccorporating a spin aling the old airfield. Should be more fun on the return leg than the outward one #quitewindy
