Change to the usual plan this week. During the summer months we usually have one longer ride each month. Plan to use the Bank Holiday weekend and the likelihood of lots of New Foret traffic to reprise one of our routes out to the west. Route created by club stalwart BPG to whom I’m indebted.

Depart will be from Moyles Court at 0930 rather than the usual Brockenhurst start. If starting at Brock allow 45-50 minutes to get to Moyles Court. The planned route is 120Km but given the start point for most of the riders this should mean that it’s a great chance to get an early season century if you haven’t already.

Coffee stop planned for Milton Abbas at around 54Km and comes after a couple of long but shallow climbs. Second Coffee Club will almost certainly convene in Wimbourne at around 92Km.

Please indicate in Spond if you’re planning on riding as this gives us a chance to give a heads up to the café of how many riders to expect.
