A gorgeous 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV fuelling up at the Esso petrol station in Winchester. Truly a beautiful car....
Maybe one of the one's at Winchester auto barn https://www.instagram.com/p/B2r_D4UJGna/?igshid=rm...

Who was the cyclist wearing a natty PH outfit in Highcliffe yesteday?
Red drop bar bike? If so, that might well have been me. About 3.30pm to 4.30pm would be about right for Highcliffe. A 45 mile loop for me, from Bournemouth up to Ringwood, down to Milford-On-Sea, across to Highcliffe along the beach via Barton-On Sea, and back through Christchurch to Bournemouth.This is the first time I've dipped into the South coast PHers section, as I only moved down to Bournemouth from Farnborough in May. I actually came to this thread to mention that I'd seen an S2000 in King's Park, Bournemouth, while I was out running on Saturday. A silver car with a small Smiley sticker on the r/h/s of the bootlid. Possibly a Cherries fan, as they were at home drawing 0-0 with Norwich as I was taking my bike in to be repaired.

Yep, right time and route. I do the school run in Barton so if you get randomly beeped, it might be me!
Welcome to the South Coast. Was going to invite you to a ride but you sound a bit quick for a mamil like me........
"A bit quick"? Said no-one, about me, ever. I've not been out for a while on the road bike. Been concentrating on gravel routes in the New Forest, mainly up Ringwood way. Verwood Forest is rather good, with oodles of traffic-free cycling, and a mostly traffic-free route to get there too. And I'm looking forward to the chain ferry getting fixed so I can explore the off-road stuff over on the Isle of Purbeck. The coastal routes just "feel like more of a summer thing" for me.

I only moved down in May, so I'm still learning the ropes so to speak. My wife was born and brought up a mile from where we live now, though, so she's a confirmed local. This is now, hopefully, going to be our "forever" move. I'm 49 next month too, so definitely very much in the 'mamil' mould. I'm not a fast rider, but I do like to get out for long rides when I can, and spend all day enjoying them. So far my longest jaunt from Bournemouth was a 100 miler to Wey-Hey-Mouth, for Dorset Apple Cake at a cafe overlooking the bay, and another to Lulworth Cove in the rain to fill my face right on the beach front at the Boat House Cafe. I also got as far north as Martin, but I chickened out when I got to the A354 and turned around (...
...)Thanks for the friendly welcome to the south coast. It is most excellent here, and I'm enjoying living here very much. Except for the comparative lack of "quality" MTB trails. If you want to invite me to a ride, I'll try to make time for one. Always nice to meet new faces, and to pick the brains of a local rider about routes and good places to stop for cake, etc, when out riding. More than happy to slow down if needed. Life's not a competition. and when it comes down to it I just really enjoy riding my bike. It's also a great time saver locally, as traffic is terrible on Castle Lane and through Christchurch. To be honest, now that my wife works only a short walk from home, my car barely moves off the drive 5 days a week. I only really take it out when I need to carry a passenger or two. So by all means give me a shout if you see me out and about...
