Saturday Club Ride

A tour to the North East reaches of the forest this week kept riders on thier toes…
Heading south from Brockenhurst to Sway, 10 riders made a dash through Pilley and East Boldre before joining the Beaulieu to Lyndhurst road at Hatchet Pond. Greeted with a plethora of sportive riders, the peloton split into to smaller groups to safely navigate the roads and regrouped after passing through Ashurst and Woodlands before reaching Bartley. After winding their way through the lanes and skirting passed the edge of Romsey, it was back to Bramshaw and across the Airfield and Linwood/Redshoot for a coffee stop and favourite spot, The Potting Shed, where a number of riders peeled off or made plans to go their separate ways. What was left of the bunch looped back to Brockenhurst via Ringwood and Bransgore.

Sunday Club Ride

We missed our leader Phil “Mr Sunday” Harris and several others away on different business, so just 6 of us enjoyed a glorious September morning
Heading out to Bashley, Sway, Boldre, St. Leonards and Bucklers Hard before returning to Brockenhurst via Hatchet Pond for coffee and cake at Setley Ridge. Stuart entertained us with tales of Jens Voight and some of his other charity work to round off a very pleasant morning.

VCVenta Hill Climb: P218H

Phill Brown found another excuse to pin numbers on again this weekend with the VC Venta Hill Climb on Old Winchester Hill in the South Downs.
The 2.6 mile long course has an average gradient of only 4.1% but that includes a short downhill section after the first 400m in which riders do battle with gradients of up to 12.1% from a standing start. Fair conditions on the day left Brown with a time only one second off last years winning time, but two other riders managed to sneak ahead on the day, leaving brown 3rd, completing the course in 5mins 2secs, just 14 seconds adrift.
