Anyone up for a little tour of the New Forest at a nice relaxed pace, possibly including a pub lunch?

Don't tell everyone but I may be able to arrange an exclusive preview of the Big Bike Bash riding trail. Comments/observations/suggestions will be very welcomed from such knowledgeable STW riders and will certainly help to make the event a huge success

Would be looking to start riding at 10.30 am for a distance of some 20 miles.

Post up if you're interested but numbers will have to be limited so don't delay!

I could lead a ride around CG. I know a lot of the trails out there and could do a nice little 20 miler. I would be bringing Daniel on a tag-a-long so would certainly be sedate

I would imagine i'll make an appearance what with it being just down the road. Plenty of nice pubs to choose from, just watch out for the pony pooh.

Ten furty? Means I'll have to be up at like, 5 o'clock or something daft. Why so bloody early? It's not like it gets dark quick.

Make it noon or sumfink. Then at least I can have a poo before I set off.

Bloody ten furty. What are you lot like?

Cheers Rich, but I'll be coming down with HackneyMincer, and he'll be driving. S'what, a 2-hour journey all in, from That London.

Just push the start time back a bit, so's we can all lie in a bit longer.

Bloody ten furty.

is that the bank hol weekend?, i might be up (or down actually) for it

Posted 2 years ago #
cinnamon_girl - Member

Wow, looks as though there going to be quite a posse

rOcKeTdOg - no, it's not the BH weekend.

sharki - it will be a nice gentle re-introduction to the trails for you, might need to put you on a lead though!

RudeBoy - just stay away from the keyboard the night before otherwise Ollie will come without you

owen - the groups could amalgamate?

Another fun STW Forum ride

Possible though we are meeting at 8 in the morning due to other commitments.

owen - no clubbing for you Saturday night then

Posted 2 years ago #
RudeBoy - Blocked

Nope. Twirly for us. I'm not getting up at 7am or whatever ridiculously ungodly hour. It's 2 hours or more drive, and we'll be stopping for brekkie, so we'd have to be leaving just after 8. That's just silly.

We'll probbly go Surrey Hills or something instead.

I'm interested CG, any more info as to where?

Posted 2 years ago #
RudeBoy - Blocked

S'not me driving though, is it? S'down to Ollie. If he does not in any way want such an early start, then it means we'll go somewhere closer. And if we either of us have commitments on Sat night, then it means we won't be getting a great deal of sleep. Best, we go later, at a time that's more suited to us.

Hi genghis. It will start from near Burley, approx midway between Ringwood and Christchurch.

Hope you can make it.

Hi,

Could be tempted as it's only 15 mins down the road from me.

I assume that it will be mostly/entirely fireroad?

Avon Tyrell has some nice twisty singletrack that you wouldnt really want to do on anything other than a mountain bike.

At best vague interest, now thoroughly dissolved.

Lots of great cheeky trails around there. Sadly I'm in Exmoor with Newforce that weekend or I could show you some, although they too have a club ride in the Forest - starting on the East side though.

Let me know if you want a few pointers

Hey - going to be a good turnout

Keep checking back for more details but tractors are welcome as long as they have a smiley face person riding them!
