Whitchurch (Hampshire) Primary pedal
Event info
The Primary Pedal is a bike ride of 20, 40 or 60 miles through the North Wessex Downs AONB on very quiet lanes. The 20-mile route isn't that hilly, the 40-mile route is quite hilly and the 60-mile route is as hilly as is possible without building some extra hills.
The 40- and 60-mile routes pass through Hampshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire, going over the highest point in South-East England - Walbury Hill.
The Primary Pedal starts and finishes in the easily-accessed country town of Whitchurch, just south of Newbury.
The vast majority of the routes are on single-lane country roads bordered by hedgerows and fields. There's only 1 mile of minor A-road on the 60-mile route.
Entry fee is £15 including homemade cakes at the refreshment stop (under 16s are free)
Probably better suited as an all-road wheelset - the internal width of 22mm is kind of narrow for a gravel wheel these days, where the standard is...
"A big positive of gravel bikes is that the possibilities to customise them are endless"....
If I was a DS I'd be lambasting Bettiol for being defeatist but as a spectator, his view seems pretty realistic. Anyway I want Pogi to stay out of...
Something something BC slow-motion crash. And, to be honest, it's painful to watch the way the sport is going downhill here.
I hope this outcome brings some form of closure for Roseanne’s wider family and my thoughts very much remain with them today...
I think that is why blind eyes have been turned in the UK, internationally aswell, with things like the Redhook crits, there were many licensed...
Ahem - other esporters(?) might be rather surprised to hear that the UCI has taken over their events - I think that would be the Cycling Esports...
I wonder how he got to the game?
You'd need some good wet weather gear for that ride too.
