| New Forest Gridiron | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Chris Walters |
Start Time:9:00 am |
Start Location:Boldre, Hampshire (near Lymington) |
Description:100km ride around the periphery of the New Forest. The format is similar to an Audax, but with 800+ expected riders, it will feel more like a Sportive! The plan is to ride at a moderate but not speedy pace (the controls will not be open if we go too fast!) - if there are varying speeds of rider, we may split into groups.This is a fantastic ride around the scenic New Forest and very well organised. The route includes parts of the 2* ride we did during the summer. Please arrive at the start ready to ride at 09:00 - it will take at least 30 minutes to check in and unload bikes etc. Let me know ASAP if you intend to come, so we can arrange lift sharing. Please enter online at the URL below. Advance entries are £5.00, but if you enter on the day the cost goes up to £10.00. http://www.wessexcycling.org.uk/gridiron-on-line-entry.php |

Report:Although it was rather nippy at the start, the weather remained bright and sunny for the whole ride. The GridIron was busier than I've ever seen it, so there was hardly a moment when we weren't part of a bigger group (most of the seemed to be originating from Frome).If you've never done the GridIron, then it's really worth the trip - as buzzing as a sportive and as quirky and friendly as an audax. | ||
