Not down to the New Forest this time and looks an interesting route. The first control is Heale Gardens at Woodford that I've not been to before.

Pretty much an out and back to Marlborough with a diversion to the Cross Keys pub at Bedwyn and a return by way of Whitchurch.

Anyone else up for it?

Is it too late to get an entry in? - I had planned a perm that weekend. No paypal option on the calendar but maybe the org knows where to get an extra card at short notice.

I think I said I'd do it as a Faccombe 3 ride.

I suppose I'd better apply soon.

Do you have any more route details?

Excellent suggestion sweetie.

Do they take entries on the line or am I too late? No contact details for Pam on the calendar page.

Hi Hummers,
We will be ther ,looking forward to seeing you

LEE · « **Reply #11 on:** 08 March, 2011, 01:57:37 pm »

Plotted the route in Fugawi and it looks like a cracker !!

Bits of the "Taste of the Test" to Amesbury (Note. I may take the Tarmac route around Old Sarum Hill Fort), a bit of the Kennet Valley 200 to Great Bedwyn, and then my local roads all the way back to Denmead (via some Anorak's Delight 200 route).

Looking forward to the descent into Pewsey via the White Horse Hill (I expect it will be quicker than my last visit, in the opposite direction)

In case you were wondering:

Denmead - Bishops Waltham - Otterbourne - Brambridge - Romsey(ish) - West Dean - Old Sarum (N of Salisbury) - Amesbury - Netheravon - Everleigh - Pewsey - Great Bedwyn - Hurstbourne Tarrant - St Marybourne - Whitchurch - Micheldever Station - New Alresford - Cheriton - Droxford - Denmead. A nice rolling, but nothing too hilly, day out.

Hopefully no strong headwinds out to Pewsey.

Looking forward to this. I don't quite know how Pam and Dave have managed to devise another fairly unique route for a 200k from Denmead but it looks like they have.

I think I may well be fast stopping the Heale Gardens Cafe control in favour of the usual Amesbury greasy spoon - but I will check the availability (and price) of a full cooked breakfast at Heale first..

postie · « **Reply #16 on:** 09 March, 2011, 10:46:16 am »

not really a unique route,just a lot of bits of many rides joined together!!! plus dave has promblems finding his way out of the drive way never mind devise a 200km route!!

Denmead - Bishops Waltham - Otterbourne - Brambridge

Not the Bishops Waltham road again!!!

The rest of it sounds very good though.

West Dean - Old Sarum (N of Salisbury)

Watch out for potholes......

Please, please.

Let us not start talking about Pam's baps.

It's just that I know how quickly these food related discussion start and detract from the OP.

07:15 at Mick's Burger Van for me.

It seems to be somewhat traditional now (although I imagine the car park won't be sheet ice any more).

Just the Faccombe3 tomorrow ...however I'll be at Mick's for Breakfast and then down to Denmead for the au revoir
