Due to Storm Gerrit and its aftermath the high winds forecast have crossed the threshold for a group road ride. So unfortunately, no peloton style ride this week. However, blessed as we are with a network of cycle paths plan is to get out on off road bikes instead.

Usual meet at 0850 for a 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst.

Rough route at:

Planned route is 62Km but there are opportunities to change it as we go depending on how we feel, how many punctures we incur, or any new and innovative mechanical fails the group can come up with. Options for coffee stop along the way as we see fit.

Sorry it’s a last-minute change of plan but the weather forecast keeps changing. Anyone turning up on a road bike not having read this communication is automatically entered into  Phil’s award ceremony for one of his many unfair and undemocratic awards. Based on the last time we had an off-road ride, turning up on a road bike is now called “doing a Neil”.

Hope to see a good turnout.
