Club Ride 27th December

This weeks club ride will be a 50 mile loop of the forest that we used last week. Gives a couple of opportunities to shorten the route for those that want to and allows those in the north of the forest to join / leave at various points.

Depart from the car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst at 0900, please be there for 0850.

Route will be:

Brockenhurst, Bolderwood, Red Shoot, Gorley, Stuckton, Sandy Balls, then at the Fighting Cocks (optional short cut back via Ocknells Plain), Wood Green, Hale, Nomansland, Newbridge, Woodlands, Ashurst, Colbury, Beaulieu, Brockenhurst

Aiming for a 16MPH average so about 3 hours 15 if all goes to plan

I’ve picked up a small injury so won’t be riding. Hope to be back next week.

Club Ride - Saturday 13th December

Forecast is a bit dubious for this week with a risk of a frost so plan is to keep local and ride 1, 2 or 3 loops of 16-17 miles around Brockenhurst so riders can stay out as long as they wish

 

A ride 3 laps, B ride 2 laps

 

If the numbers for the B ride are low lap 1 will be at B ride pace

 

Lap 1

Car park, Brookley Road, Balmer Lawn, Hatchet Pond, East Boldre, Norleywood, Pilley, Shirley Holms, Sway War Memorial, Sway Road, Brockenhurst

17 miles

 

Lap 2

Brock, Rhinefield Road, A35, Lyndhurst Road, Burley Lawn, Mill Lane, White Buck, Wilverely, Brock

16 miles

 

Lap 3 (A ride)

Rhinefield Road, Bolderwood, Emery Down, Lyndhurst (optional short cut to Brock), Beaulieu, Hatchet Pond, Brock

27 miles

 

Or do lap 3 first then the B ride can finish and the A group go on for one or two more laps

For the A ride take pace down to 16MPH

 

Plenty of option for café stops in Brock / Beaulieu / Lyndhurst if weather turns nasty.

 

Depart 0900 sharp from main car park in Brookley Road Brock opposite Tesco. Please aim to be at the start for 0850.

 

Remember this week will have washed a lot of stone onto the roads so make sure your got 2 spare tubes.
