A lovely day had by all (well me) on Friday when I rode the WW. You're all in for a treat, it's a good route taking in the best of Hampshire lanes and villages (and other counties) with some Wessex fun thrown in. The tunnels were a good experience with a bit of a surprise halfway through. A decent climb the otherside, especially for a lapsed audaxer relying on running for fitness.
Not sure I can add much that is meaningful to the discussion on controls as I was a) on my own, and b) rode on a Friday, but I did enjoy my quiche at the Summer cafe Malmesbury even though it was busy. Bicycle parking is available in their courtyard upon request.
Photos to follow.
Thanks Postie, I'm sure the weekend will be a success.
