Congratulations to Ed for all his time and thoroughnes in organising this event.

He even booked good weather.

If Ed organises again next year he will need a few more helpers, to voluntere, and

hopefully a few more club members will participate in the rides.

The Saints sportive is allowed 200 riders ,so there is room to raise even more than

£14000 total for all the rides. St Richards is a very worthwhile local charity to support.

Well done Ed
