This post is to let everyone know of a sportive event, rather like the Suffolk Sunrise Event that many of us rode this year.
The event was planned for Saturday 16th September but has sold out, so the organisers are running it again the following day on Sunday 17th September.
A number of us have expressed an interest in riding the event.
Please go to the event website below for all details of courses (3 options available), prices, registration etc.
The New Forest is doable as a day trip, so I am sure, like before, we can arrange car sharing to help on the day.
If you are interested, please can you sign up, above, in the usual way.

Plus a few lessons in bike maintenance - or just come along for a chat!

Hi Guys
This is a place holder for Sunday's C Ride. I am away for the next few weekends so to help encourage one of your to take on the ride, I am loading a route etc - all you have to do is download the route and lead the group. Who is up for a go??? Please let me know if you can help. Many thanks, Niall.

Hi Midweekers
This Wednesday, we are off to a familiar haunt at Croughton. Not a really long route this week as I have not been out for a few weeks, but plenty of opportunity to add miles on for the faster groups, numbers allowing.
Forecast is for SW to W breeze, with temps of 18-20 degrees C. Do bring water, spare bits and method (s) of payment.
Route: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/44860048
Meet at the Swan Pool at 9.15 am for 9.30 am roll out.
Given usual numbers on a Wednesday, please can we have volunteers to lead a 2nd and possibly 3rd group. I will take the steadier paced group, so looking for a couple of zippier folks to take the other groups on the day. If you can help, please let me know - many thanks.
