'Don't underestimate what we've just done Pelsall riders...' - Tracy F

A rather challenging club Gran fondo with the groups achievements summed up perfectly in one sentence by Tracy.

Tempo 2, 2.5 and 3 took a beautiful sunny ride out to The Tithe Barn cafe at Market Bosworth passing through some proper quintessential English countryside with a few good challenging climbs thrown in. 12 riders completed the course across 3 ability/speed groups all pulling together to help each other around the course.

And of course, not forgetting the all important post ride isotonic refreshments.

Our Tempo 1 riders headed out into the glorious sunshine on a speedy 77 mile trip to Haughmond Village coffee stop, Upton Magna with a mere 3400 feet of climbing to endure.
