Bonus ride this week as it’s a bank holiday weekend. Friday will be a 65Km gravel ride and hopefully missing the worst of the Good Friday traffic on the roads

Meet at 0850 for an 0900 depart from the main car park in Brookley Road, Brockenhurst as usual. Being a mainly off-road ride it will be one group and paced to suit the slowest riders. Being the considerate cyclists I know you are remember to ride defensively and give priority to pedestrians on the gravel paths as I’m sure they will also be busy on Friday especially along the old railway.

Ride will only use the marked cycle paths and roads and if I’ve plotted the route incorrectly please keep to the marked cycle paths and re-join the planned route when possible. Planned route is here:

Plan will be 37Km and stop for coffee at the Community Shop in Minstead.

Then another 28Km back to Brock or maybe a bit longer if Phil G takes control and adds some extras.
