60 riders tackled the hilly 100 route on Sunday October 2nd 2011. For once the weather was just about perfect and all but four of the riders completed the event in the allotted time. Many riders took the Guiting Woods option which was reasonably dry after a week of hot weather. Winchcombe CC was well represented with the folllowing 13 riders taking part: Sarah Davies New member Neil Reynolds was one of the first riders back with a time under 4 hours. Sarah and Karen were the only two ladies from the club so well done to all of them.
