The Meon Valley and its surrounding area is a haven for cycling enthusiasts. The rolling hills in the South Downs make for some spectacular scenery and the area is filled with interesting history. At the top of Old Winchester hill are the remnants of an old Iron Age fort, and old churches and villages litter both routes. At times you'll forget that you're only a stones throw away from the major cities of Southampton and Portsmouth. The routes of 46 or 88 miles have been designed to encounter as little traffic as possible, and there are minimal miles on bigger roads. In places the routes narrow to single lanes and extra care will need to be taken on these sections. Overall you will take on some challenging hills, but with rewarding sites and descents. Entry is now open, simply click here; individual entry is £23. As part of your entry fee you'll revceive:- •Porridge, Tea and coffeebefore setting out •2 x feed stations en route (1 for the 50 mile course). Each station will be stocked with energy powder, bananas, flapjacks and water. •Jacket potato with cheese and beans after you've completed the course. •Free on-site car parking •If you are defeated by the Riser you won't be left stranded. We will provide a SAG wagon on the day to pick up riders that do not complete the course. •Official 'Riser' completion medal •An exciting and exhilarating day in the saddle!
