Saturday 13th July

Morning ride out with Damian and Jacob

A group of six riders made the most of the fine weather to tackle the Col de Coldharbour on Saturday morning.  The group stuck together well on the ascent, with no stops required.  A brief break to take on water and it was on to the rough stuff.  With the sun beating down it was hot work and all were glad of the shade when the trail reached the woods.  Another bumpy ride over the rock hard “muddy field” and it was onto the bridleway for the dry and dusty climb back up  to the road before an excellent descent, with the riders lined out like the pro peleton descending a true Pyrenean Col.  
 
Well done all, particularly Sophia for a strong performance on her first Col de Coldharbour.
