Phil Hampton Memorial Ride 2026

Our annual Phil Hampton Memorial ride has been held in glorious spring sunshine.

While many of the riders were local, some cycled in from other towns such as Woking and Petersfield, and we also welcomed the usual large contingent from West Surrey Cycling Club who have been strong supporters of this event over the years.

The cyclists tackled either a 30-mile or a 50-mile route in the outstanding Hampshire countryside, before returning to Medstead Village Hall for refreshments provided by volunteers Dina, Lisa, Liz and Janice.

We thank Richard for organising the event once again, and a special thanks to all the cake bakers: Dina, Chris, Kaye, Sarah, Gill, Liz, Lisa, Viv and Janice.

After expenses have been paid, all money collected will be sent to the Cyclists’ Defence Fund – the amount will be announced in due course.

Thank you to all the cyclists who came and made the day such a success!

Pace-judging & Freewheeling Contest


Eleven cyclists took part in this year’s pace-judging & freewheeling contest, which happened in August.

Congratulations to Daz who won both parts of the contest, and therefore was the overall winner on his first attempt!

The results are here:

Thank you to everyone who had a go and made it such an enjoyable event.

Weekend away in Lacock

Nineteen members of the Cycling UK North Hants group recently enjoyed a long weekend away, based around the picturesque village of Lacock in Wiltshire.

Rides over three days were planned by Frank which included visits to locations such as Bradford on Avon, Castle Coombe and Marlborough.

The rain on Saturday led to some rescheduling but all the planned rides were ridden, just not necessarily in the anticipated order!

Thanks go to Frank and Dina for organising, as well as to all the others who helped in various ways to make the weekend so enjoyable.
