What a fantastic weekend of cycling. The Rugby Ground was open from Friday and there was still quite a few left on the Monday still. The Road Sportif followed the same route as last year with plenty big hills and some fantastic descending on the Saturday. The MTB Marathon followed on the Sunday with over 1200 riders taking on the 4 courses. Great weekend of weather but poured down late on the Sunday night so ended up in the bar talking to Nick Craig who was on his holidays with his family and had been crusing around the 7 Staines. Oh and he was first in the 100K and his oldest son got 4th on the 28K. Well done to all the NE riders both on the Sat & Sun. John and his merry crew set up a great weekend of cycling, bring on next year
