Red Kite Sportif- Sunday 1 September
I rode this event over the weekend with Phil Skinner one of the riders I coach, who is frightenly fit, organised by the Marlow Riders. Marvellous event supported by a full field of 600 riders. Superbly signposted and halfway around wonderful drinks station with homemade cakes, plus lots of jelly babies ( which after grabbing a handful, saw me home)
Both Phil and I opted for the shortest distance of 52 miles, but I rode out and back 20 miles each way, so not a total wimp. We rode around this event in just over 3 hours, so quite respectable. We are both riding Cycling Weekly’s Boxhill Sportif in October, hopefully I’ll be able to keep up better.
Well done to the Marlow Riders http://marlowriders.org.uk/
