marky, dude I go riding with all the time has that cannondale...
quantocks are good, used to go up there when my gran was around as she lived near williton?
p.s new forest - I start in lymington and all i can find is a cr@ppy gravel track to some other town and back again. Is there any decent single track?
Swinley is definitely the place to go, get in the visitor centre and ask for directions to the labyrinth..
Also! MBUK this month has the top autumn bike rides (which are good even when its wet apparently) and a free pair of Trek riding socks!
