This afternoon sees the return of the intrepid cyclists. As always they had an entertaining and eventful weekend. Day one was a lengthy affair at around 80 miles, and ending in a punishing (and unplanned!) hill-climb. Day two was a shorter length but 'typical' cycling weather with heavy downpours. And day three a gentle meander back to Penkridge with stops en-route for puncture repairs. Accommodation was much improved over previous years, with hotels featuring jacuzzi baths.
The welcome party at the Cross Keys saw all 10 safely over the line, preceded by the support team. The cyclists had aching limbs, and a few with cuts and bruises from tumbles en-route, but smiling faces to reach the end, and a celebratory drink (or two).
