Riders:Andy CowanFrank Schroer Nick Stokell Riders = 3 Weather:   Report:The weather meant that the pre ride brief consisted of shall just two of us do the ride then Nick? We agreed yes then Mr Schroer made it the FunBoy 3,so with Churchillian words of encouragement from the Club Chairman off we set.Amazingly we rode it perfectly, even together up Chain we did rolling lead outs all the way to Newbury, touching 30 mph a couple of times, all the way to Shefford and even the lumpy bit to Manor. It must be said Frank did do the biggest turns but I thought it was about time a Dutch cyclist did something this year but full credit the pacing from each was ideal, so thanks gents. The rain did get us at the end but that just upped the tempo to bring us safely home after 33 miles,450 metres of climbing at a good speed of 18.3 mph, no stress but a good stretch! Pleased with that one. | ||
