A new event was created this year called the Winchester 100. It involves either a 100km or 100mile bike ride through the Hampshire countryside starting at Sparsholt College just outside of Winchester City Centre. Chris Dawson the owner of Cycle Tours UK participated this year with another couple of friends. It was a great day out, however they only did the 100km.
The terrain in Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire is undulating with some quite steep hills and to cycle either 100km or 100 miles in one day is no mean feat and congratulations to all those who took part and completed the course.
The event is in aid of Action Medical Research for Children and Life. For more information on this years event and to register for 2011 go to http://www.action.org.uk/get_involved/winchester_100
