Great to see a good turnout last weekend as we re-started the club rides.
For anyone who is intending to attend this weekend please familiarise yourselves with with the guidance in the British Cycling “The Way Forward” document.
We meet as usual, 0850 for a 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst. Please be there for 0850 for an additional safety briefing and so that we can get into groups of 6 or fewer. Please ensure that you practice social distancing in the car park and under no circumstances get into any groups larger than 6.
I will try to get everybody into small groups that can ride together. Might be worth letting me know if you are feeling particularly rusty after the long lock down so that we can have Slow and Slower groupings.
As detailed on the Zoom call and in the PDF circulated, we cannot accommodate guests or non-members at this stage on the club rides so please don’t bring any along. Also, we will not under any circumstances pick up additional riders along the route and any riders that miss the start will not be permitted to join.
Sorry if this sounds a bit draconian but hopefully you all understand and are accustomed to living and working in this way at present.
This week we will use the route that heads North through Rhinefield, up and then down Bolderwood, through Minstead to Bartley, Ashurst, Ipley Cross, Beaulieu then back to Brock.
It is planned that this will be at a comfortable pace and is as always on Sundays a strictly no-drop ride.
Please make yourselves familiar with the route and if possible upload to your device https://www.strava.com/routes/14921234
Forecast is lovely so hope to see another good turnout
