Riding in Hampshire UK

[Robbie928]

Hi guys!

Just wondering who is here in Hampshire and where do you like to go? If anyone would like to meet up and go for rides give us a shout always up for a trip out and meet new people!

 

[Pukmeister]

Hampshire is a big place, wherabouts exactly are you ?? I'm on the South Coast in Fareham. Most of my rides are local bridleways, typically 20 mile loops. I've gone as far as Winchester/Meon Valley and also Stoughton/South Downs Way in West Sussex. For downhill trails try QECP about ten minutes up the A3 from Portsmouth.

Hi guys, picked up my Levo last week! I'm near QECP. Do you guys still meet up for a ride and would you be up for me tagging along?

Congratulations! I presume you have already racked up some miles on it?
I get up to qecp on mine every now and then but refraining from doing anything too sketchy for fear of a trip to A&E.... what routes do you ride ? I might see you up there.
enjoy!
Andy

 

[AndyH]

Cheers ?

Covered about 80miles so far, just riding the local area. Been riding QECP loops (inc the over the back stuff) and then over to Ditcham Park and also the hangers.

Yes ditto! Missing the downhills but agreed, better places to be than a&e at the moment!

Good stuff, cheers ?

A really good route is QECP to Harting down, then over to Stoughton, then loop back -north or south -to your start point..... great combination of track, technicality, distance and Climbing.....
for me from havant it is about 30miles, but easily 45miles if you wish... but still within battery range.

Sounds great cheers - I'll have a look and figure out the route on the Garmin ?

Hi all, I am setting an eMtnBike club up (could be national - but certainly keen for it to grow in Hampshire / New Forest). I have got a web site up and running, and that allows a ride to be organised, and limited number of other riders to sign up for it. I like riding locally in the New Forest etc / Purbeck Hills / Isle of Wight - but am keen to: go to Surrey Hills; get up north and do more knarly rides in the Peaks / Yorkshire / Scotland / Wales. The club is brand new and needs founding members to kick things off. My bike is broken at the moment, but will hopefully be fixed shortly when I will start to promote it a bit more. Would this be of any interest to any of you?

I’m up for it, good idea ?

 

[Foxy]

Great idea, I'd be up for that too

 

[Hoffman6132]

OK the virgin website (no users other than you guys if you join) is https://gomojo.me/ . I can set people up so that they can post rides, and decide how many riders can join in. I have posted some example rides, but until I get my bike back from the repairers, cannot actually go!

You need to create an account in order to see the rides etc. There are lots of possible improvements that could be made to the site, but it is enough to get started. The next priority is generating some members!

Maybe I'm missing something here ..but you are posting in the "rideout section" of a forum about another forum where you can organise rideouts ..? ??
Nope...

I'm near you, in Gosport

Hi Terry, yes I remember meeting you. I guess you recognised my bike ? Done a few miles since then

 

[Terry]

Me to! Do you fancy a ride out sometime? I'm available most days.

Well the site is intended to be an eMtn bike club. People who want to organise rides can post the ride, set the limit for how many riders can join in etc, and anybody who is interested can simply register to go. It is a bit more efficient than chatting in a forum - it supports posting maps, google pins of where to meet etc. The idea is that individuals can quickly organise a ride to go on / groups can quickly decide to join in on the ride. The forum part of the site is simply to provide a supporting chat area on the same site.

All I want is to maximise fun on my bike!
