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)

Yes, I agree. These huge vehicles scare cyclists and discourage cycling. I would not let my children cycle some of the routes I regularly cycle...
