Club Ride – Monday 28th December – CANCELLED

Unfortunately the weather forecast for Monday gives us a risk of ice and temperatures that might not clear it so regretfully the ride planned for Monday will not go ahead.

Club Ride – Saturday 19th December – CHANGE OF PLAN – OFF ROAD

The weather gods have not been kind and with high winds forecast for Saturday it is not conducive for road peloton riding. Therefore, we will use our contingency plan for an off road ride. Route is suitable for cross / gravel / MTB bikes so all welcome. Route is 58Km and detailed here: https://www.plotaroute.com/route/1372805?units=km

I’ve plotted routes through the woods between Balmer Lawn and Beaulieu to the best of my ability with the map I’ve got. If these are not the marked cycle paths please use common sense if you are leading and make the necessary diversion to keep to the paths. We should have enough local knowledge between us to navigate through OK

Ride is planned to be a non-stop ride with no coffee stop. Options for coffee in Brockenhurst at the end of the ride for those that wish.

Keeping to current Covid protocols for club rides, please meet at the main car park in Brookley Road at 0850 for a 0900 depart. Remember to keep to the rule of 6 in the car park and not just automatically join the group that’s already there.

Welcome back to our over-70's.
We still need to observe the Covid-protocol's of course, Groups of 6 or fewer, sadly no guest riders or joining the group mid-ride etc.

If you plan to join the coffee stop at the end of the ride then a mask and hand gel are a good idea as is an extra layer!.

Forecast for Sunday is bearable so hope to see a good turnout. Anyone sporting Santa-suits or reindeer helmet additions will be banned.
