A low turnout for this one, just two of the Club old guard, The Prez and Jan, setting off in hazy sunshine from Warwick Racecourse to ride this Wiggle-organised sportive into rural Warwickshire.
A fine ride, taking beautiful winding lanes southwards to Shipston-on-Stour, passing through pretty villages of thatched and timber-beamed cottages, and noting many a fine country mansion too.
It was a 'lumpy' ride, one notable slope punishing us all with a short section of 22% incline, but a good workout nonetheless – 111km and 1182m of climbing.
A good day out, two grumpy old men smiling more than grumping ;-)
