3 February - 40 Mile Reliability Trial

A dry but cold morning saw another good turn out for the 3rd reliability trial on a 40 mile course out to Heckington and back. The 29 riders split into 3 groups spread over 20 minutes all found it hard work with no respite on the east/west course from the very strong southerly wind. Route»

Yet again Jom Coleman proved the strongest being the only rider to break 2 hours, with the only 2 riders who attempted to stay with him, Dave Ostler and Nigel Podham being dropped by 6 minutes at the finish.

All riders did well in the conditions with special mention to Paul Letchworth and Toby Kiely for persevering in only the third rides of their first season.

Next ride is on Sunday 10th Feb with distance increasing to 50 miles on a course down to Castle Bytham, crossing the A1 and returning via Ashwell. First group leaves the market place at 8.30 further details on www.withamwheelers.co.uk. all welcome.
