Saturday Afternoon Club Run to Tideswell

It was a hard one but a rewarding ride.

Just short of 50 miles on the clock, 5,000 feet of climbing and 4 hours ride time.

A sting in the tail of Wild Wales training just before the cafe stop, a bit of gravel riding after the cafe, then a bit more Wild Wales training climbing up to Cowdale. Back over Axe Edge and the Cat, down through the forest to the Kings Head to meet up with the MTBers before 6pm.

The pictures starring; Rob S, Woody G, Jill W, Rachel G, Greg R, Jack B, Nigel B, Mark H, Mark W, and Dave H tell the story. Out of shot; Fred W

Jack was in the white jersey for best young rider but he could lose it to Nigel

Mark was nearly in tears as he looks like he’s going to get swallowed up by the groupetto on Crowdicote

Rob got maximum KOM points at the top of Crowdicote

Woody just checking he’s not dropped everyone on the long drag up from Monyash

Rachel’s just entered and started her Wild Wales training plan

A bit of gravel riding on the Monsal Trail

It wasn’t all rideable on the way back
