New Forest Hybrid ride Brownhills carpark 20-25 miles

Meet 1030hrs to set off ASAP after, and no later than 1040.
The route will be about 20-25 miles mainly, about 80%, on tarmac so a similar energy expenditure to, say, a 15 mile gravel track route. Hybrid or gravel bike recommended. Not suitable for a thin tyred racing bike.
Possible pub or tearoom stop afterwards.
Please have your phone with you, and the leader's number stored in it.
Please also bring a spare inner tube, tyre levers and pump.
In the event of last minute problems on the day, please text me on 07922 168992 as this is the most reliable way of contacting me after I've set off from home.

Please ensure that you follow the club rule, all riders must wear a cycle helmet at all times, if you fail to have a cycle helmet then you will be asked to leave the meetup, this is for your own safety.
