Test Valley Tour Hot Challenge rider finish times
by Paul Howard, 22 May 11.
A blustery day greeted over 400 riders to the Hot Challenge at Vernham Dean. The few brief showers blasted on by a strong westerly didn't have enough impact to dampen the trails but the winds sure made it hardgoing up on the high ridges. Riders were treated to the singletrack in Collingbourne Woods earlier in the route than previous years and many went back for another go. There's definitely a little hidden gem of fun trails in there for future investigation.
The Tours are sponsored by cycle holiday company Saddle Skedaddle who provide a UK holiday in the prize draw. Tim Lawrence was the lucky winner who said "I NEVER win anything!! That's amazing, thank you."
On behalf of the Gorrick team who ran the event it was great to see so many new faces and welcome back the regulars. Our thanks to all the sponsors and also to the Vernham Dean Playing Fields Association and the local Womens Insitute for providing 100's of freshly baked cakes and refreshments.
