Any riders in Poole/Bournemouth?

Well Mr MF, I'm assuming the 'starts in Blandford' is a deliberate dig. It starts in WIMBORNE, which as we all know is the center of the known universe. But hey, it's all a barren wilderness north of gravel hill isn't it?
Anyway, the bhf is a fave. Good ride, well organised and the route gets more challenging the further you go. Annoyingly, there's been a friend of mine posted at the point where the 50 mile/ 66 mile route splits for the last few years, meaning that i've had to take the extra long route with its extra stonkingly big hills to avoid massive loss of face.
Its definately doable on fixed, though having definately done it I will definately be taking my retro race bike this year.
Look forward to seeing y'all.

Look forward to seeing you - I'll most likely be doing it fixed as well (on the 'long' route).
