At last, a chance of a club ride this week. Forecast not great but after the last three weeks I’ll take it. Looks like it will be wet and windy so it will be winter ride protocol. This means a slightly lower pace to stop riders getting hot and sweaty and then getting very cold. I suspect riders will be naturally a bit slower after the lack of riding for most of us over the last few weeks anyway. Ride is just 72Km around the east of the region with no planned stop. For those that want a coffee the core ride will finish at Boost in Brockenhurst where there is a coffee and cake van, bike racks and indoor seating where wet riders will not be frowned upon.

Route is here:

Option at the coffee stop to plan some additional mileage for those that want as the afternoon forecast looks a lot better.

Mudguards please. Roads are going to be very wet and it’s no fun following riders with no or inadequate mudguards so please show some respect to your fellow riders.
