Well after talking about it for a long time we have made progress on organising our ride.
Dates 22-24 june 2013
The riders will be:
John Bell – Completed C2C a few time now – lazy trainer and built for comfort, not for speed
Jed Woodhouse – One of the 2 fast riders in our bunch – he should use his MTB to give the resta  chance – it’s NOT a race
Carl Rutter – new to cycling a couple of years ago – has youth on his side (but not experience)
David Senior – could be a dark horse – not sure of his capabilities …. yet!!!
Michael Charlton – Keen to get this milestone under his belt – looking for a comfy saddle
Simon Veit-Wilson – Another fast lad (and showoff) – one of 3 of us who did C2C ina day a few years back
Me
