3* New Forest Weekend | 3* |
---|
Contact:Jo Little - 07900295322 |
Start Time:9:00 am |
Start Location:Lyndhurst |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Riding pace of 12-14mph. There will be hills.This is day 1 of a two day visit to the New Forest. We are making it a weekend away and are staying in Lyndhurst from Friday to Sunday. We usually all meet up Friday evening for a meal at La Pergola, which is close to the ride starting point. It would be possible, however, to travel down early on Saturday and just treat it as a day ride. The ride starts in Lyndhurst and visits Lepe and Beaulieau then skirts past Brockenhurst and along the ornamental drives then loops back round past Cadnum to Lyndhurst. The ride covers a good variety of the beautiful New Forest countryside. Please note the New Forest is not flat! Although there are no really steep hills, there will be continuous climbing throughout the day. We will have a cafe stop in Beaulieu at The Old Bakehouse Tea Rooms and then a lunch stop at The Royal Oak in Fritham. We can then all meet up for an evening meal in Lyndhurst at La Pergola, an Italian restaurant near the starting place, which we will book beforehand. The starting place for both days is the Bolton's Bench car park on the B3056 Lyndhurst to Beaulieu road. When approaching from Lyndhurst village (on the A35 Southampton Road) the B3056 is on the right hand side, opposite the fire station. The car park is immediately on the left. La Pergola is on the A35 just a bit further on, on the left hand side. It has a large car park. Lyndhurst has several small hotels, including the Ormonde House Hotel and The Penny Farthing. There are also some B&B's. We have booked The Ormonde House Hotel for when we stay in May, and can highly recommend it as they are very friendly and helpful, but the area is popular so it would be best to book quickly. I am limiting both days to 12 riders, as any more is too much on these roads and will split into 2 groups for ease of riding. Please contact me if you would like to put your name down. I have set up a Whatsapp group to help co-ordinate everything . I have contact details for nearly everyone but please could you ensure you have downloaded Whatsapp onto your phone. |

Contact:Jo Little - 07900295322 |
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 |
