• Back On Topic the most authentic place to ride is definitely Ringwood Road to Poole ... there is lots of post industrial .. working class scenery (con club(aka the monkeyhouse) at the summit) then a fast scoot into Post-Post-Modern Poole .. where there is a very commercial quay, with Aussie themed sports bars that don't show any sports.

    On the way there ..you will see such delights as Animal kingdom which could possibly have protesters outside because they are selling our simian brothers. You will spin past the fish and chip shop in Oakdale and finally race for the traffic lights ... get this right and it is a great run past the kerry food factory (Richmond Sausages) and into the Harbour....

    Very authentic.. indeed.
