The 100 Mile SMILE Ride (8 Sept 2013)
A few pics from yesterday's event. Adam and I went to the Hub for a group "off" at 8am. We cycled to Bedford, where we then caught the train to Leagrave, from which we had a straight dash (punctuated by a puncture) home. 75km for us.
A grand day - and the weather cooperated! Our team learned a lot about putting together an event like this - looking forward to doing it again - bigger and better - next year!
