グリムステッドのおすすめライド

国立速度制限標識のすぐ後に急な部分が終わりますが、路面は依然として非常に良好です。

Another great lane to ride in the New Forest. It may be flat in the forest but if the wind is in your face, things can get tough.

Lovely people, good cakes, sells coffee and crisps.

Pro Tip: Salisbury Navigation — Start Smart, Finish Smarter Salisbury is a natural waypoint on the King Alfred’s Way — a scenic and historic city, but also a maze for a tired bikepacker. Here’s how to avoid the common pitfalls: 🧭 Navigation Hazards: The city layout can be disorienting after a long day in the saddle, especially with phone fatigue, low battery, or GPS signal issues. Preload your route offline and drop a pin at your parking location or train station before rolling out. 📱 Backup Nav: Bring a secondary form of navigation — a small power bank, a basic GPS unit, or even a paper map. If you’re relying on your phone, make sure screen timeouts and lockouts won’t leave you stranded (ask me how I know…). 📦 Start/End Point Logistics: If parking in Salisbury, choose a well-marked car park close to a landmark or note the street name. Trusting “Find My Parked Car” or memory alone can lead to a post-ride goose chase. A hidden hero? An AirTag stashed in your car. 🚴‍♂️ Ride Timing: Salisbury is a great place to begin or end a leg — just be aware of city traffic and tourist footfall, especially near the cathedral. Early starts and twilight returns can ease your flow through town.

Riverside pub serving food and real ales

Just beside John o' Gaunt pub - if you are so inclined.

The Woodford has a number of enjoyable winding country roads that are relatively quiet and well-surfaced and offer beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
