Weekend 20th/21st March - Team kit arrives, a party and even some cycling!

Busy weekend for the Wayfarers Wheelers. The team kit arrived from MSTINA and all agreed it looks excellent - a big thank you to our team sponsors Stuart and Lisa Cameron of Cache Media and Neil and Christine Leah of C&N Marketing. Also thanks to Gianluca at MISTINA for "pulling out the stops" and getting the kit delivered in record time! Saturday night saw our second major fundraising event for the National Autistic Society. With nearly 80 people attending our Red, White and Blue Party, a 70'S-80's disco in Highclere village hall we raised £2012.00 from ticket sales, the guess the weight of the rider competition, raffle and charity auction. A good time was had by all and the quartet riding the Etape were resplendent in their new team jerseys.

After only a few hours sleep, Simon and Chris were off to a r45 mile road race in the Cotswolds and had a tough time in coping with the speed but nevertheless a good training opportunity. Steve(see blog below)took a long training ride with Stuart(his favourite route), over the Wayfarers Way at Sydmonton and then up the valley to Shalbourne and home. The weather was excellent for all concerned.

Easter holidays and late-season skiing trips now get in the way of training activities but the Wayfarers Wheelers should be back together on the road again for Easter Monday and after that the Chiltern Dipper 100 mile sportive.
