20th March the "no excuses..." Wiggle Series Sportive




This 'no excuses' event was so called because it cost 1p to enter! The catch is that if you don't turn up you pay £25 and the money goes to Charity. Clever promotion for the ukcyclingevents organization. There was a strong turn out & I'm sure many will enter the other events later in 2011!
I arrived at around 0845 and Luke set off with a head start. Michiel was helping in the registration tent so we got going 25 minutes later.
Out of Huntington we skirted Graffham Water & headed westward turning North for the refreshment stop in Riseley after a terrific descent. This was where we caught up with Luke who had made fantastic progress. The 18 miles home were helped by a tail wind and some nice downhill sections.
Close to home Luke passed the 40 mile barrier for the first time - WELL DONE.
44.2m 2h55m @ 15.2mph 1448ft climb
