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)

AIUI an entering-circulating accident [sic] would be when the vehicle entering the roundabout fails to give way to the vehicle circulating.
Which is great - but you can only take a bus which exists eg. is going somewhere near where you want to go, when you want to go....
Erm, does someone need counting lessons?
My cannondale SuperSix gen3 frameset i recently bought has a sticker saying: made in China. Dont know about the newest models.
Cos style, and did you not read it only weighs 158g!...
It's strange - some folks who grew up there say it was a great community and has declined. Some folks say it was "like Beiruit" and has calmed down...
