Greetings from Poole, UK
Hi Guys
My wife and have recently returned to cycling after dabling for a few years on hybrids and mountain bikes. We now have Giant FCR's and get a good kick out of good road riding around the New Forest near where we live. Poole is in the South of England fairly near Southampton.
Regards
Sipper

A few months ago I was researching a ride from Lands End to John o'Groats and discovered a British organization called SusTrans. They use the Ordanance Map system to list local and regional bike routes all over Great Britian. They show many thousands of miles of routes. Check them out. Unfortunately since they tend to scenic and quiet routes I had find my LeJoG route elsewhere. Their way would have been some 1300 miles. I found a detailed listing of a record setting route that was only 850 miles.
