Sounds superb. But I have to work, and I don't reckon my little pins are up to 2 big(ish) rides in one week……
Have a great ride whoever's going.

Second that Matt. It was really nice to go out with a big group and have the smiling support of Michelle and Steve. I know everyone had a great ride. Even though we could all do it ourselves it made it more special.
Let's hope it becomes an annual event!

Agreed. It was a well organised ride, and great fun. I was a bit daunted at first thinking it would be a full on smashfest through the hills. It was great that everyone rode at whatever pace they were comfortable with, regrouped frequently, had lots of support and I'd love to do it again next year,
