Better late than never CYCLOSPORT.ORG PARTY PHOTOS

by SRS EVENTS

The end of season Cyclosportive Party was sometime ago but I thought I would put some photos up of the day. It was a great day for being out on the bike. Lovely weather and equally lovely company as cyclist form the Cyclosportive industry got together for this ride. I was there to enjoy myself so the photos won't win any pulitzer prize for photo-journalism just snaps of my day.

An excellent day organised by Cyclosport.org but for me it was tinged with slight sadness as Wales lost the Rugby match on the same day.

I started off in the fast group I have to say I felt sure that I was going to keep up with the Legend that is Stephen Roche ex Tour de France winner and one of only two cyclist to win the Triple Crown of victories in the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia stage races, plus the World road race championship.

But Stephen was looking fit and after only a few miles before we even reached Box Hill the fast group spat me out the back. It was maybe a bit ambitious of me to try and keep up with the fast group when I don't really ride much these days and never really at any high speed.

There is always next year though :-) and maybe next time I will get a few more miles in before this party and hope to keep up with the fast guys who probably think they were going slow when they dropped me...... but had these guys been organising cycling events all year ?
