| 3* New Forest Weekend | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Jo Little |
Start Time:9:00 am |
Start Location:Lyndhurst |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leaderDay 2 of the New Forest weekend. Once we have breakfasted we will meet up for a half day ride, again starting at Bolton's Bench car park in Lyndhurst. This time we'll approach Beaulieu from a different direction and then are changing last year's route by heading a bit further south before a long loop towards the cafe stop at Burley. We then follow the same route as last year with another chance to climb the Bolderwood Ornamental drive before then returning to Lyndhurst. The ride should finish about 12.30pm, allowing plenty of time to return home before the rush hour (hopefully!). Today's ride is lumpier than yesterdays - again the Bolderwood climb is the biggest one but it is a fairly constant up and down for much of the ride. 34 miles |

Riders:Chris GrayEddie Little Jan McCabe Jo Little Joy Arthur Nicole Pethybridge Peter Brodie Yvonne Bird Riders = 8 Weather: Report:Another warm, sunny day meant great cycling conditions. We headed for Beaulieu before taking a different route through small hamlets and little lanes. This led onto the heath where Peter had a puncture. Luckily he is tubeless so it self-sealed and then Joy was able to use her stabby thing and a slug to fix it (technical terms!)The cafe stop at Burley was great as always and we then tackled Bolderwood hill again. I have promised to look at the route for next year and try to avoid this! We again hoped for the ice cream van at Lyndhurst but were disappointed. Thank you to Jan who led a second group whenever the traffic built up. Finally, thank you very much to everyone for being such great company over the weekend. It was lovely to be able to share the New Forest with you all. Looking forward to next year already! | ||
