NMCC intro ride - Forest & Coast

Come and meet New Milton Cycling Club at our intro ride which has been designed to have a little bit of everything; Forest, pretty villages, beaches and glorious views over the water to The Needles.

Our ride leader will start with a pre-ride briefing and if new to group riding, will run through some safety points and show you some useful hand signals.

After a quick bike check, we’ll head off out of town and to the Southern edge of the New Forest where you will no doubt encounter the wild ponies and donkeys. We’ll then head through pretty villages down to the harbour at Keyhaven before following the coast along through Milford on Sea, Barton on Sea and back to New Milton for a short de-brief.

This ride will give those new to riding confidence on the road in traffic whilst introducing you to group riding skills.

Please ensure that you cycle is road-worthy, you are wearing a cycle helmet (mandatory on our rides), are wearing suitable clothing for the weather (preferably layers) and have water with you. There are toilet opportunities en-route at Keyhaven and also Milford and Barton as well as at our start/finish point.

The ride is FREE! … Parking is also free in nearby streets and on a Sunday beside the recreation ground. The ride may be cancelled due to bad weather in which case a notification will be sent out at least an hour before the start time.

We look forward to riding with you.
