It will be 20 years since, but this could be much bigger, and I already have you in mind to be involved πŸ˜‰

No idea what it could be but be interested to know the details, been on the look out for a cycling adventure with long held lejog ambitions but not sure have it in me.

As an aside when back down south recently (currently live in Swansea) cycled from my brothers in Christchurch to my mums in Havant and caught train back, great ride that used 6 ferries en route, mudeford, keyhaven, hythe, hamble, gosport and Hayling, highly recommend.

Hi @meakinsl, sounds like this could be right up your street then. Can't give too much detail as yet as still fleshing out plans, but will involve both Pompey and Saints fans cycling 500 - 600 miles over six days, raising funds for the Wessex Neurological Centre (smile4wessex.org). Route will likely include at least some of the mileage being ridden in France in either June or September 2025.

If you're interested, please PM me your email address and I'll send more details once we have them πŸ‘πŸ»
