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, and that's downhill or flat.
The entry fee is just £15. 40% of the funds raised through entry fees and sponsorship will go to the registered charity FOWPS - Friends Of Whitchurch Primary School. 40% will go to Testbourne School Mityana fundraising committee, to help support the student trip to Uganda in 2016, and 20% will go to the Test Valley Cycling Club, to promote family-oriented cycling and to hold cycling events open to all ages and abilities for recreation, fitness and pleasure in the Test Valley, Hampshire.
Cycling infrastructure does not force drivers to break the law, drivers are the reason they break the law, no one else.
