Riders:Frank SchroerJason Jones Nick Fisher Paul Jarvis Peter Cowan Riders = 5 Report:The CUK 2017 Season final 4*rideYours truly was running late so thankfully the riders waited happy to have a chat. We set of at a steady pace passing the 2 and 3 * before Challow, quickly dispatched Eastmanton lane climb re grouping then descending Hackpen through the Letcombes climbing Cort hill. By this time the sky darkened, wind picked up and the heavens opened !
