I've done paragliding off cliffs and flown helicopters in and out of trees. I've travelled far and wide. Who'd know there are such extreme sports opportunities so close to home! The required kit is a lot more accessible as well. A bit of navigation and organisation - and Bob's your uncle....
A cheeky note (but I'm sure the organiser won't mind me saying, as this is all about the experience and spreading the word far and wide) ... you can go solo,and there are other less stressful routes nearby if you lose your nerve on the day.
Of course in an organised group there will be lots of video evidence of those close calls you'll want to share with your family, friends and of course the police, but some say that takes something from living in the moment.

Words cannot describe the joy I experience as I turn the corner to see this cycle bus. As an avid SUV driver, these cyclists must feel so entitled wanting SAFE TRAVEL into winchester!!!! Sometimes I perfect a drift just so they can feel the gust of wind from my 3 tonne car. I’ve already managed to hit three of them, it always makes my day so much better.
These people are impeding my RIGHT of FREEDOM to go 75 in a 60 zone. I think the council really need to build an 18 lane super highway instead of a cycle lane so I am able to hit these entitled cyclists at 100mph+ speeds. Please continue this cycle bus, it brings me so much happiness hitting cyclists in the morning 🥰🥰🥰

This is an extraordinary tour. We gasped in surprise at the audacity of the County Council's highways department. The funniest part was learning about how the Council's budget will never find enough money for cycling and active travel, despite it being an extraordinarily cost effective investment with the UK government's own estimates that every £1 spent, between £5 and £6 is returned to the local economy (see Cycling UK's briefing about the benefit of cycling to the economy).
With the County Council's budget being shaved to the minimum, it's hilarious that it is diverting money away from the solution that will reduce long-term NHS spending, that will reduce carbon emissions and congestion, that will reduce air pollution, traffic noise and improve physical and mental wellbeing.
These guys are clowns!

I’ve done the Alps and the Pyrenees and loved the adrenaline of flying down free ride trails with cliff drops. I’ve won Redbull Rampage 10 years running, enjoy base jumping without a parachute and used to be Eddie Kidd’s stunt double. But this is proper off the charts white knuckle thrill seeking. My kids love it and think I’m the best parent in the world for introducing them to this dare devil sport. In a modern world full of health & safety constraints that shackle fun, the B3335 Cycle Tour stands out as a nod to the good old days of kids playing on train tracks, handheld fireworks and driving without seat belts. Staying in the past appears a suitable metaphor for the HCC approach to sustainable active travel. Sustain the minimal spending, actively talk about it and travel nowhere. Well done Cycle Bus volunteers for achieving what HCC and £millions of public transport spending could not. I hope rumours of an M3 Junction with A34 kids bike park come to fruition, the trap door drop into the motorway sounds awesome.

What an amazing time! Almost got knocked off at least twice, nothing like feeling the wind rush through your hair as HGV’s caress you from the side.
Please never build this cycle lane council, the blood of children on the roads keep the tyres spinning a little quicker and I can hit new personal bests into Winchester
