The start has been moved to new site east of New Park.

Last I heard they were trying to get clearance from Fawley Parish Council to use Gang Wearily (may have spelled that wrong). Do you know the confirmed start point?

Yep sounds like it will be there.
Not close to Ringwood at all if you are right and they are fobbing me off .!!!
hope to get a reply back on monday to my last e-mail saying that a friend knows of someone on the council and they haven't seem an application to host the event in any particular place as of yet ...this was just before xmas i think ,so lets hope this has progressed now ....

Had thought of entering at a moderate distance - not sure I will now
it's a great sportive ride and well worth it ...don't get put off and lets hope they get the start venue sorted ASAP ..
Trouble with Avon Tyrrell would be the single access and car parking - I can't see that working.

The Rattler uses Moyles Court School which last years route went past.
Personally I'd rather see them use Beaulieu Motor museum, no one in the area moans about activities there.
If you haven't done it before, do not let the bad press put you off. The organisers are so good you would not know of any problems, I live here and they find routes I don't know off. Not to mention riding through stunning landscapes.
