Riders: Andy Cowan David Smith Frank Schroer Jason Jones Paul Jarvis Peter Cowan Riders = 6 Report: The season opener headed off with six old faithful riders setting a good pace against the wind with Frank leading the way,sorry guys I had forgotten my Garmin so had no idea what speed we were doing ! We kept as a tight group and had the opportunity to hold an odd chat as we progressed along. With the wind behind us for the first time heading from Fernham towards Shellingford, Jason took up the lead. not bad for a man who's bike hasn't been ridden since September. it was so clean it looked new ! Frank and the rest of the group soon caught Jason up and rode together putting the hammer down . Arriving back in Grove in 1.35 for 45 k Not bad for the season opener.
Distance: 45.00 km (27.96 mi)
