Gravel Rides
New to our club rides programme is a monthly gravel ride.
The club are delighted to have been offering a monthly gravel ride as part of our regular rides programme since August 2022. Popularity of this monthly ride has grown steadily with thirty or more members now joining each ride.
You can catch up on stories of previous rides by clicking on the club news page where you will find reports from the monthly gravel crew.
Ideal bike for these rides would be a gravel bike or cyclocross bike although the routes chosen are all accessible by mountain bike as well. Probably best not to try these rides on your road bike or Brompton though................
The gravel ride will leave on either the first or second Saturday morning each month, however, the start location may vary as we plan to explore the gravel roads and tracks of the New Forest and Salisbury Plain during the wetter winter months..
The next ride will be on Saturday 4th May 2024. Meeting place and start time will be advised in due course.
Huge thanks to Jorge Manso, Paul O'Halloran, Neil Towns and Nath Curtis who have now taken on route planning and leadership roles for the gravel rides. If you are interested in joining a gravel ride please do email [email protected] and we can put you in touch.
