Apart from the downpour just as we were loading up, and ready to leave Stamford Bridge, the threatened storm failed to put in an appearance.

Great to see Saj back in the saddle once again, and kudos to Mark and Graham who cycled to and from our start point – and apparently didn’t get too wet on the return ride.
And well done Elisa – another TT ride firmly finished.
