Meon Valley Riser - Sunday 6th April, Fareham

"What I really liked about this event is that the route had been meticulously picked to incorporate in the main good and newly resurfaced roads and the signage was excellent throughout. The organisers were friendly and it was nice to have breakfast and lunch included as part of your entry."

New Forest Rattler - Sunday 17th August, Moyles Court

The New Forest Rattler will return to Moyles Court for its 6th edition in 2014 and the event keeps getting bigger and better.

The Rattler village was introduced for the 2012 event, offering riders the opportunity to camp at event HQ. This has proved to be a very popular option, with all camping spaces snapped up well in advance of the 2013 event.

The Rattler is well-known for its friendly atmosphere and accessibility to riders of all abilities - making it a perfect event for sportive newbies. The fast rolling roads of the New Forest also make it an ideal event for more experienced riders looking to enjoy some fast cycling.

"Not only was the course a joy to ride, but everyone I encountered were friendly, polite and extremely professional. Once again, thank you for a lovely day and I look forward to seeing you all again next year."
