The thing about editing this Newsletter is that its a breeze if thecontributions flood in, but it can be a real chore otherwise. Ishocked the recent committee meeting when we got to my itemon the agenda. Margaret was just about to repeat the regularphrase in the minutes “Keith needs more contributions” whenshe was stopped in her tracks when Keith said “I think I haveplenty for this issue.” Do not however be complacent; ifyou’ve done a little tour this summer or enjoyed yourself on thebike somehow then write it up and tell us. It really doesn’t needto be more than a paragraph.Someone who has donesomething this summer andenjoyed himself on the bike ismy old clubmate (and 300,000mile club member) Ray Haswellpictured here enjoying a cakethat he was presented with inlate August at the Drovers Inn,Gussage all Saints at theconclusion of his “Round theCoast of Britain” ride that hasoccupied him since May.Well done Ray, and keep up thefundraising for those Gorillas!

We took the Fast Cat from Poole to Cherbourg and returned via Ouistreham toPortsmouth. Conveniently the D63 points one in the direction of Quineville the town atthe northern edge of Utah beach. Much up - much rolling - much down and we hadcrossed the headland with the wind gentle from behind and the sun fierce from above.We picked up a sandwich in Quineville and once stowed in the saddlebag we retired tothe shop next door for pastry and coffee.

Utah beach is thefirst and thegroup photo wastaken at theMemorialhalfway along.Turning towardsCarentan from LaMadeleine theheadwindgrabbed us by thewheelies andcalled for - naydemanded -effort. Huge

effort. Both wind and sun worked tirelessly to ensure this was no ‘walk in the Parc’Naturel des Marais (an area of marshes where several rivers meet the sea with fewcrossing places). We recovered with our sandwich in Carentan sat on convenientlyplaced park benches - for the use of - overlooking a water feature which looked over alock which proved to be a yacht park. This feature has the Route Nationale crossingvia a tunnel further out towards the coast deflecting much of the traffic congestion onewould expect from the position of Carentan on the map. We spent a while gnawing oursandwich and contemplating the erratic nature of the water feature before retiring to abar on the way out of town. The wind was back to attacking from the side as it hadalong Utah but once we were on the D514 things changed. The sun remained fierce butnow being wind assisted it was a very short hop to our next scheduled break at Port enBessin. As we turned onto the quayside there was a queue backed up at a shop front.Glace was the sign above. It would have been rude to ignore the invitation and we satin the sunshine cornets in hand studying the art of stretching out the length of time onecan take delight of the simple things of life like crushed strawberries in ice cream. In30 degrees of wall to wall sunshine it is not really long enough; enjoyment was quitethorough though. With Madam having filled our bidons we set about finding the windto finish the ride. Up the hill from town and there it was. Just where we had left it andjust as keen to see us easily into Ouistreham. Our bike computers had the averagespeed for the day shading 15mph. Graham was beside himself; worried that he wouldnot be up to it at the outset he could not believe what he was seeing. [So very pleasingfor the leader when that happens.]

We dined at great length and with leisure at a restaurant fronting the canal beforeboarding for a night’s light sleep on the Mont St Michel.

Full Englishbreakfast sanstomate and thenwe landed andheaded for theferry to Ryde(OAP discountobtained). Therain showers andthe wind stroveto dampen thespirits but wewere able to missthe first bigdownpour by

sheltering in a pub. The sign outside said “open from 9 for breakfast” and even thoughit was 10 mins after we had to ‘knock them up’. £1.40 for coffee and shelter; bargain!The Yarmouth ferry seems so much slower now than the old ones were but we hadlunch in The Buttery. Macaroni cheese is not a favourite with me but this was verypleasant with salad and baguette (demi). It was shortly after Lymington that Grahamhad the deflature d’jour; he did not find it to his liking but mastered the task manfully.On across the New Forest passing Sway to Rest and be Thankful at Burley Street, thenTea and a generous slice of Victoria Sponge in the tea room at Crow Farm Shop. Herewe said farewell to Dave as he lives down along the Avon .The next leg was to be along the Castleman Corkscrew from Ringwood to Poole . Thatsection of woods, ferny downs and moors completed and the buttocks suitablytenderized the four of us sat (gingerly) in a pub on the quay at Poole for a de-brief overa last meal together before dividing up to wend our weary ways to the loving bosom ofour family homesteads, or as one insisted, Mission Control.The beaches of course; Utah where the beach, once won, leaves the conqueror facing amile of lowland from the dyke to the foothills; the others all differing in their natureand the challenge set to the invading forces. The wildlife; coypu, butterflies and heronand orchids in profusion. The classical Norman architectural style of churches, rebuiltfrom the destruction, and Chateaux reduced to manageable farmsteads but withperimeter walls fit for a prison yard.The Isle of Wight where the scenery and ambiance are so akin to the cretaceouscrinkles of Dorset’s Purbeck and further west. The New Forest mix of wood and moorand disturbing another Green Woodpecker, worth the trip just for that.Not a bad couple of days all in all and as is usually the case, bad patches and dodgyweather kept us from going madly at the ‘tour’ (second day 11.6 mph avg).Happy days indeed.

We have received the following regarding the progress of the Maiden Newtonto Bridport Trailway which both CTC Wessex and CTC West Dorsetprovided financial support . . . Mike Walsh

Dear Trailway Supporter,Just a quick update on progress with the Maiden Newton to Bridport Trailway.Things have been a bit quiet recently, but work has been going on behind thescenes - a planning application has been put in for the Bridport-Bradpole section,and we are looking at options for extending the path to Loders, and for MaidenNewton-Toller Porcorum.Cafe 64 in Maiden Newton has raised another £500 from the Trailway projectfrom secondhand book sales! Thanks for your hard work, and to everyone whobought or donated books.A working party is planned for the existing Maiden Newton section of path,cutting back vegetation - this will probably take place in mid-September, and assoon as I have a date I'll pass it on.In the meantime, the West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland Draft Local Plan is outfor consultation, and there is still time to make comments. The Trailway projectdoes get a mention, but it's fairly non-committal, and it would strengthen our casewith all the local authorities if the plan made clear that the District Councilsupports the project, which it does.That's all for now, as soon as we have news on the planning application, theworking party or indeed anything else, I will be in touch.

Best RegardsPeter Henshaw

The Beat Goes On By Big BobI’ve discovered something amazing,someone actually reads “wot I rites”! Somuch so that a local mature gentlemancyclist really had a question withreference a to point made in our last chat.I hesitate to hammer this particularsubject during this short series of articlesfor our elite C.T.C. Wessex Newsletterbut I feel we all know each other wellenough now to up the cadence and go forthe profounder landscape of our cyclinglifestyle raised by this gentleman.Now I appreciate there are many who are quite happy to saunter theperipheries of pedaling pleasure, and a social chat and a burst up the roadare all they require from their activity and so back to Sunday lunch, whichis fair enough, but what a waste when there is so much more. To all thosein love with the whole exasperating game, cycling is not a tack-on to lifebut is life itself. It is the sensory organ through which all experience flowsand in its rhythms and cadence a dawning enlightenment about what isreally important about the world begins to appear.There is now in this age a surfeit of digital do-da information, knowledgeand communication which drowns the unwary in a sea of anxiety producingmush. An over intellectualising approach which discusses and shreds ad-infinitum producing anxieties about the future and regrets for the past. Butthe simple bikie has the glorious wonder of the present to play in, he istruly heir to the old mystic conundrum “The Eternal Now.” His pleasuresare literally in front of him (no pun intended) and there is no time or wishto dwell on the past or future. He can use the system to organize and buildhis own world view which as a life model works so well. He does not, norwould wish to, escape dangers and conflicts when they occur in his worldbut when they are past they are gone and forgotten while literally travellingfurther down the road. When young, I grew up like a lot of my post wargeneration heavily influenced by the “Beat Movement” spearheaded byJack Kerouac and his strange stream of consciousness work “On TheRoad”. He came along with compatriot poet William Burroughs and evenGinsberg producing an alternative thought process which refused to acceptthe grey rigidity of that time. Alas now all dead, but a few years ago I sat in

11 Cycle Ink #166

a quiet room above a bookshop in San Francisco where they used to meetand remembered them as the prototype bikies they were.But enough of this. I hope this is sufficient information for my enquiringcycling gentleman, previously mentioned, although I am afraid I can dolittle to assist him with the other difficulty he raised of a personal natureregarding his relationship with his lady partner, apart from suggesting shestop sitting on the bike immediately.Now on to the news concerning our Le Hotel du Velo Sportif cyclingretirement complex.I am bubbling with suppressed excitement and had no intention of revealingthis news until further down the line as things are at a delicate stage. Astasked by our house committee, Mike W. and Ralph H. have left no stoneunturned in their relentless search for funding to assist in the continuationof our cyclists country retirement Manor. So all true lovers of the bike whowish, can carry on living the cycling life they love in later years in thefriendly company of kindred souls.I am thrilled to say that due to their untiring hard work a dialogue has beenopened with “Sky Broadcasting” who seem keen to be associated with arapidly growing mature end of the population still pursuing a sportingactivity. Our heartfelt thanks and support go with them in their delicatenegotiations Should they be successful Derek P. has magnanimouslyoffered to take Victoria Pendleton of the Sky Track Team on an extendedtour of our grounds and complex and even at his own expense treat her atour local village chippie., thus showing the profound effect the news hashad on him.Entering into the spirit Ann D. Wendy H. Anne M. Jeanette K. Joan C. andeven our House Medical Officer Jo G, all forward ladies, have volunteeredto personally cater and convey morning tea should ace team sprinter ChrisHoy stay for the weekend although the further offer of laundry and otherunspecified services could be construed as a little excessive I would havethought.So, a growing sense of optimism permeates our happy establishment.Shawn S. actually smiled at me and Alan D oiled my chain . . . strangethings are afoot!

Ride Joyously.

In Canada in 2006 I rode with an Australian who this year decided to ride up the lengthof Italy including the Alps and Dolomites. Upon completion he flew to England andtook a train to Scotland to ride the Jogle (John O’Groats to Lands End). These rideswere all organised rides but he then rode alongthe South Coast and I rode down to meet himin Shaldon. We then rode back together. Inthe adjacent picture you can see my style oftraining. A train journey along the coast fromTeignmouth to Starcross where we caught theferry to Exmouth. That part of the trip waseasy but the remainder of the day took its toll.Although we used the Sustrans route 2 some ofwhich was along an old railway line you cansee here, the terrain did change. The constantvery steep hills and finally the hill out of

Sidmouth got thebetter of me. Ihad to walk a lotof this. It wassuch an effortthat I had toabort the targetfor the day andseek analternative

stopover with my brother-in-law. Oh how lucky to have a relative in Uplyme!The adjacent picture showsAlan cycling along thepromenade at Seaton where Ihad eventually decided enoughwas enough and phoned mybrother-in-law. After a verywelcome and needed restorativeevening and night I started thenext day feeling much better. Idid stock up with many sweettreats to keep me going throughthe day. We continued alongthe Sustrans route 2 toDorchester. We passedUploders the original overnight stop and discovered later that the arrangements for anevening meal would not have been met so I was very pleased that we had made otherarrangements. This was the first trip that I had used my Garmin Edge 705 to guide me

along the route I had selected. I found it very good and will use it again for new routesbut as always I will still have a map with the route highlighted. Over kill maybe but Iam getting older. I used Bike Hike to plan the route going down to Shaldon and BikeRoute Toaster for the return. Both utilities worked well and I doubt that I will be ableto decide which one to use in the future. We stopped for a late lunch at the Top O’Town as always a very welcome stop. My Australian friend had roast beef andYorkshire pudding and bearing in mind the portion sizes in the Top O’ Town he wasdue to go down hill a lot faster although still not as fast as me.From Dorchester we followed the route of the Coast to Wareham at a grand pace. Ihad been thinking that we might have to resort to take a train from Dorchester orWareham but I was able to keep going and decided to ride all the way home. The lasthills from Corfe Castle to Shellbay were not as bad as yesterday, not as steep andnowhere near as long. Wecaught the ferry into Sandbanksand as it was nearly 6 p.m. wedecided to ride along thepromenade. We had aphotograph opportunity here onthe promenade as we enteredBournemouth. A couple ofmore miles and home. Shower,change and out down to the pubbut unfortunately they were inthe middle of a pub quiz soagain on the second day weaborted our original eveningplan.I introduced Alan to theThursday Rouleurs and even Irode to coffee with them. Alan continued on all day but I went home. He alsojoined us on the Terry’s Burley ride.

The Annual Run is not strictly true. More likeThe Traditional Run - long in historyinfrequent in the execution. Glastonbury andit’s association with pilgrims of all shades andcreeds still beckons over the divide of the

generations and so it is with cyclists. I’dknown aging Bournemouth two wheelersrecall with misty eyes and slack jawedwonderment the hallowed days of yore whencyclists were bold and sloped off some fineSummer morning in the direction of Avalon.Every year - so they would have it – anannual event indeed. And oh what joy, whatfun and frolics and jolly japes were enjoyed byall in those halcyon days. However theytalked of the past. A brief re-flowering of this‘annual’ with Big Eric at the helm ploughedthe pilgrim path once more with a band ofyouthful fellows, chaps and chappesses. Wehad great rides and good times; the café atHenstridge and the tot before home atShapwick; the maze of lanes in between.Dormancy followed once more and the storytellers were again dewy eyed. No doubt every

DA has similar stories and not far away in aland that time forgot the role of Pilgrim wascontinuing. Intermittent in the true tradition butregular to an extent of three times in fouryears –the kind of traditionally annual one can

believe in.For the thirdtime in fouryears the roadto Dorchesterwas taken tojoin with fellowpilgrims for atea in the TopO’ Town carpark. The hourfor departurearrived but theleader hadn’t.We did nothave to waittoo long for

Sharon and we were then soon underway.Ancient earthworks and Roman viaductbehind us we followed the lane over Wren’sBridge and on into Maiden Newton. Cattistockwith it’s milky creamy stone cottages was therule of thumb for most of the day. Villageswhich nestle in the folds of the downs linkedby lanes that the ‘Rolling EnglishDrunkard’would have been very pleased tomeander home along. Chantmarle and FromeSt Quentin; Holywell and Chetnole;Yetminster and Bradford Abbas; ChiltonCantello and Podimore. OK so Podimoredoesn’t do it for you but a third breakfast ofthe day for £3.99 is reminiscent of the dole forpilgrims provided in the past; cereal, toast &preserve and pot of tea.

Glastonbury 2012A few words (of encouragement)

By Shawn Shaw

The mutual feeling of satisfaction of the jointventure too was tangible as we set offthrough Somerset . The names were not somediaeval church as we had enjoyed inDorset and appeared to lack much variationas we went through Butleigh and thenButleigh Wooton for our photo-shoot. The Torwas becoming a focal point on the horizon asSharon , leader, bravely battled strong windsthat had now sprung up.In Glastonbury we parked up in the Parishchurch of St John and sat to picnic in thechurch porch. Other Pilgrims passed backand forth in various states of intensity; someon a religious path; others on the pagan way;sightseers in abundance; residents intent ondaily living. Glastonbury draws everybody -and our one thunderstorm of the day. Whichwas over very quickly and we were sat in theporch, in the dry. Once the rain had stoppedwe set out for The Rifleman and it was nowthat a great discovery was made. If you parkyour bike at a church do not park undergargoyle spout; the clue is in the intended useof said object. Enough said.We got our drinks and sat on the verandawith sweeping vistas of the levels beyond;less sweeping now that the trees are gettingbigger but impressive none the less.“I remember you!” said the Landlady. Thinks:Do I need to apologise? “Where from?”.“Mere, The Angel Corner Tearooms and TheOld Ship Inn.” It is 10 years since I stopped atthe Ship so I certainly left an impression. Itwas memorable for me too as it was the nightof a great storm with flooding and horizontalrain; I was so cold and so so wet; the Shipwas my haven. They served wonderful creamteas on Sunday afternoons too.After drinks we sought out Cinnamon Laneand Kennard Moor Drove to dribble our wayacross Levels backwaters heading acrosscountry aiming for afternoon tea at MilbornePort. Passing through more cream stone

villages where thatch and stone fringed themullioned features, we noted a Water Mill withthe race in full gush and became aware ofGalhampton (seems they have a musicfestival there, too) as we passed the ManorHouse sitting four square at the junction ofHearn Lane and Long Street. Shortly after thisthe single lane becomes single track andsteeply, scarily (grasping of brakes andgritting of teeth scary that is) plummetsthrough nettles and other less menacingverbiage zigging and zagging into a farm andon to roll through sheep stocked meadowsbefore climbing to go under the A303 (weird).At the junction it warns of Land Slips. Wepass between high walls of rock in a cutting ofancient pack pony usage but nothing slips.Soon we are enjoying a pot of tea for four inThe Queen’s Head in Milborne Port (and abiscuit).The pilgrimage is nearly over as we are nowfacing the familiar roads of Dorset throughGoathill and Haydon, Allweston and Folkebefore legging it down the A352 intoDorchester and the return to Poole . It haslived up to the memories and the billing givenby the rheumy eyed. The old country sport ofhunting Fox/Badger/Deer with four leggedmammals has given way to a not so sportingincrease in mowing them down withautomobiles. Yet a green and pleasant land itstill is, if a little bloodier on the roads.Blot On The Landscape award 2012 (and formany years hence forward probably) goes tothe spot near Nether Compton. The viewahead and to the right is lovely; there is muchto be said in praise such well cared for andnurtured loveliness and many have been ableto do it justice. The view to the left, however,is reminiscent of the faecal deposit of a giantLego-dog. Sadly there was no giant Lego-dog-owner with a pooper scooper -nor anyone to tell them not to . . .

After the success of the inaugural Poole Quay Cycle Event in 2011 Poole BoroughCouncil have decided to make it an annual event. In May I was invited to have a standagain. Terry and I had acup of tea and agreed wewould take part. In June,whilst having another cupof tea, we decided whatform the stand would take.I arranged to borrow myson’s surf wagon for thedays adjacent to the event.I also contacted Dave tocollect a good number ofhis style of leaflet. On theweeks running up to theevent Terry resurrected aframe he built that wouldhouse a board upon whichwe could attach variousphotographs and leaflets.I was asked by Poole Council to confirm that we would be attending and how muchspace we would require. After another cup of tea we decided on the size of our plot,what a guess! I drove to Hook to pick up the surf wagon on the Monday for theThursday event. Terry repainted the frame and made sure it still worked. He alsoreviewed the rollers and clock again to check it was in working order as I did with theturbo trainer I was to bring along. I trolled through many photographs of variouslevels styles and groups and selected a number which could be displayed. On the daybefore the event I emptied my second floor flat of the bike, turbo, trestle table and allof the bits and pieces needed for the night, (many trips up and down). Again after afew cups of tea around at Terry’s we pinned the photographs to the board together withthe leaflets. The frame was dismantled and packed together with the rollers, clock,bikes and all of Terry’s bits and pieces. Following a late request from Poole I soughtand borrowed a further turbo from Jacquie which Clive checked out before collection.Poole used this to power their smoothie maker. Kevin and Phil from BournemouthJubilee said they would come along and hand out leaflets. On the day I was unsure ifthey had any Jubilee leaflets so I called on Peter to collect sufficient for the evening.On the night Terry, Agnes and I arrived at the wrong entrance and asked whichcompany or organisation we were with. We try and represent all cycling in the areaand therefore do not badge ourselves with any particular group. After a call we wereallowed through and set up our stand pictured above.I am biased but I believe that we did attract attention and handed out a good number ofleaflets. Paul, John and Rosie joined Kevin and Phil, all in kit, to answer questions andhand out leaflets. Dave came along and provided some Dorset Cyclist Network

leaflets. A small number triedthe rollers, and I managed toentice some kids to try theturbo. There was a prize forthe fastest boy and the fastestgirls. Olivia managed 22.5miles an hour and Ben 28. Atthe end I gave away old cyclemagazines. Amazinglynobody wanted them until oneperson took one then everyonewanted one.Just before the fireworks Terryand I packed it all away and

drove home. We packed the surf wagon the following day but for both Terryand I some of the equipment has still not been put away. I returned the van tomy son the following Monday.
