The New Forest in Spring - 80 km
A road bike or similar is essential for this event. We will head north from Brockenhurst and head uphill through the New Forest. Heading west to Redlynch, we'll then head south over undulating hills to Ringwood, for a sublime ride along the flat to Bransgore and then Brockenhurst.
Expect bluebells, and ponies.
This is the regular ride we do each year, at almost the same time of year. It is the harder of 2 New Forest rides in Colin Dennis' '20 Classic Sportive Rides in South East England'.
What to bring
A helmet is mandatory, and must be worn when riding at all times. Anyone without a helmet will not be permitted to start.
Please bring cycling essentials: spare tube; puncture repair kit; pump; and wet weather gear.
Food & drink
Please bring plenty of water, snacks and energy bars or gels.
It is essential to bring lunch with you as we will not encounter shops or cafes along the way.
