Yeah, the Hampshire ones are really useful. Nothing techy (apart from the occasional small dose), just bridleway cross country stuff. Where are you staying?
southampton on monday night and then just outside of poole with my parents, for the rest of the week.
forest of new is nice right now - you'd have to try pretty hard to find only swamp, even if you went all, err, unofficial
There's this one too. STW group ride (which I missed) heading off from Alresford.

If you're in Soton then lordswood might be worth an explore - but I've not been there for ages...
6.20 Wednesday evening at the sandbanks ferry if you want a LOT of company (like 50+ lots!)
For a quieter experience, me and/or DrP might be able to sort something in the Poole area.
poole side i assume. 50+? That's huge! I'd definitely be up for someone showing me around, it's been a while.
Where do people normally start in the new forest? Brockenhurst?
I'd be up for showing a Grockel around... 😉
Whereabouts 'outside Poole' will you be staying?
DrP
oi! Watch it, i spent 10 years growing up in dorset. 😉 i'll be in lytchett matravers.
I'll turn the cooking pot off then - locals don't taste as nice.....
Lychett's clost to me and Rusty - maybe a ride and a BBQ next week might be in order!
DrP
More local than us then Dr.
Yeah, 50+ in the summer, 20 odd at night in the winter. Ridebike shop rides.
sounds good. Do i have to bring my own linda macartneys? 🙂
More local than us then Dr
I know that, you know that; could have been our little secret!!
Liase here later with confirmation of dates etc 🙂
DrP
Linda McCartneys!! We eat vegetarians down here! 👿
It was all going so well. 🙁
Wednesday or Thursday are going to be best for me for an evening ride.
Loads of rides posted here every week in the Poole, Bournemouth and surrounding areas.
