The route is fast and one could achieve a 30 Km/h average given that you are willing to take risks on a route that is not closed to traffic. You will encounter horses on the road, vans speeding around corners, cars not stopping at stop streets etc al. These are the factors limiting the full potential of a PB on an awesome route. Finishing is not a glamorous moment, there aren't any officials or crowds at the finish line cheering you in. You have to be very self-motivated to cycle this race if you thrive on that kind of atmosphere. This is the first time that I have attended this event, and I shall enter again next year, but only because I am competitive against myself and compare personal bests year on year, and it's near enough for me to cycle to the start line and back.

Hampshire Tour Series

The Hampshire Tour Series was set up back in 2014 by members of Odiham Cycling Club & 1st Gear Cycles bike shop in Alton. Previously known to locals as the Tour of the Candovers, Hampshire Tour Series started with its flagship fundraiser sportive in Odiham & since then has grown year after year, eventually expanding in 2018 to include the Tour of the Worthys & Tour of the Meons events, based from Alresford. Set up by cyclists for cyclists, the routes take on some of the finest & least known roads of the Mid-Hampshire area. A friendly service & local feel has been at the heart of what we do since the start, riders can expect to find a race HQ, with refreshments available, clearly marked & marshalled routes, motorbike rider support across all 3 events, and finally who could forget our now famous mid-route cake stops courtesy of our partners Simple Cakes? If you’re looking for a fun, friendly but challenging cycle sportive to enter, then you’ve come to the right place.
