Another good turn out as 40 riders started the second ride in the Witham Wheelers series over a 40 mile course taking in a rolling route via Ashwell and Waltham.
Building on experience from the first week a 5th group was added and with several riders changing groups, all groups kept together well with all riders achieving the target speeds.
Group 1 - With reduced numbers but ably led again on an enjoyable ride by John and Christine Hill.
Group 2 - Dave Beckett took over the leaders mantle and despite a puncture and adding an extra 5 miles with an unexpected detour the group kept together to the finish, don't worry Bill's back next week.
Group 3 - The biggest group rolled around well with all riders contributing, including several new riders enjoying the ride. All finished together except for Macka who lost the group in the last 10 mile, still suffering from Xmas excess
Group 4 - With a big change in personnel a good mix of younger and the more experineced riders all finished together for an average 19.3 mph.
Group 5 - Under the impetus of Jim Coleman a rapid 21.4mph average was achieved with all the other riders hanging on to the end.
