This was the big one, longer but less climbing than the Etape, only 2800m compared to 4500m!.All four of the Wayfarers Wheelers set off in the first group and covered the first 2 hours at over 17 mph. At the first feed station, Pete peeled off to complete the 81 mile ride in a very respectable time of 5:11 and Chris, Steve and Simon carried on to complete the 127 mile course.

It was tough and the guys had to "grind out the ride" over some tough climbs near Petersfield before returning to more familiar territory and finishing with climbs up to Hannington and Ashford Hill.
Steve and Simon both posted times of 8:44 and Chris trailed in at 9:08.
A tough day out for all!
