    So on the day of our first official team road.cc rideout we have been looking at where to stage the next one from.  So as we are a club we thought we would let you guys pick.  So discuss below where and when you think the next rideout should be from.

    As iUpham has said, Totton is a great meeting point for cycling into the forest. The team at Hargroves have a huge local impact and quite a following too… An idea for a great club ride could have great marketing impact for Road.cc…

    The Hargroves at Totton would be a good meeting point. Totton has lots of free parking, only a 10 min ride and you are in the forest, plus they have coffee!

    Not sure what kind of distance people would like to do?

    From Totton we could do a 30 mile loop through Nomansland, round to Downtown and back. Downtown has some nice spots to stop.

    The southern side of the forest is a lot flatter if that is preffered.

    If people are feeling adventurous we could always visits Blissford hill.

    Phill, what are your thoughts?

    P.s I hope the ride today went well![/quote]

    The ride went well and everyone seemed to have a good time. This was the route https://www.strava.com/routes/2533839 and much coffee and cake was consumed by all.

    Will contact Hargroves today to get some dates and see if they can lay on some goodies.

    Sarf-west Lunnun, innit. A pootle to a cafe in Putney, perhaps – Tried & True is good. Or something more strenuous into the Surrey Hills?

    We can do any day, Friday just suited this time but a Sat would be better for me, as I am stuck in road.cc HQ working whilst the rest are out riding.

    Thumbs Up!

    Plenty on offer around the New Forest, something to cater for all abilities.

    Just like Phil, I am more than happy to assist with any organisation đŸ™‚
