New Routes!

For 2012, we have revised both the 50 mile and 80 mile routes to make them safer and more enjoyable. The section on the A32 has gone! It has been replaced with a route on much quieter and more scenic, but still challenging, roads. I hope that you will get as much enjoyment out of these new and safer routes as we have. For more details see our pages dedicated to each route.

Why you should wear a helmet!

Unfortnately during the Cycling Event on Sunday one of the riders, Mark Smith, was knocked off his bike by a horse box on the A32 between the George at Warnford and the Uplands Hotel. He was severely concussed not to mention the "gravel rash" down his thigh. He fortunately was wearing a helmet otherwise he would have suffered severe head injuries and worse! His helmet was so badly damaged that the Police have taken it to use in their Safety Lectures to schools to demonstrate how it can prevent serious injury or death in an accident. The Police have asked if anyone was riding on this section of road between 11:30 and 12:00 with any information about the "hit & run" accident or a car and towed horse box please contact them giving as much detail as you can.

Interview with Rob Hayles

Rob Hayles is really enjoying his cycling these days - especially in the summer which is really his 'off season' from the track World Cup and the championship events in which he has become one of Great Britain's most successful and consistent performers. Who wouldn't be chiper when the sun is shinning and you've got a few hours' riding around some great Hampshire lanes ahead of you? Read More »
