A ride for those wishing to progress on from urban rides and to explore the New Forest.
We'll start the ride from Eling Car Park (toilets available) making our way by quiet roads south of Marchwood and using Twiggs Lane to get us out into the New Forest proper. We'll pass the National Motor Museum on our route to Beaulieu where we will make a stop for a drink and something to eat.
Our return journey will be out of Beaulieu past the Montague Estate, heading to Dibden Purlieu where we will pick up a mainly traffic free route back to Marchwood and Eling.
Please wear a helmet and bring along a spare inner tube in case of a puncture. You'll need a means of payment for our cafe stop and it's also a good idea to carry a drink with you and perhaps a snack in case you need an energy boost.
We welcome new competent riders wishing to experience a slightly longer ride and explore new places. Don't worry, we won't leave anyone behind!
