Tour of Pembrokeshire sportive

[Andy H]

Some good rides from OVW veteran members today, especially on the shorter 52 mile ride. Terry, Tony and I all made 'gold' standard with Terry the first of us home in 2:57, Tony and I a few minutes after.
Terry was particularly strong today, after I done the first few miles on the front, he took over and towed us until the half way point which also happened to be the foot of the main climb. He promptly dropped me and after riding v.hard for 10 miles I was just about in shouting distance when the puncture fairy paid a visit. That was the last I saw of him until St David's, good riding and well done to Tony who despite being dropped a bit sooner than me was still only a couple of minutes behind.

Richard Bowmer on the 75 miler was home in 5:30+, Haydn and Ben hadn't finished the 100 miler before I'd left.

Five mile munchers set off at 7 in the morning, myself, ben, Richard b , rob hunt(who was on the club ride last week) and his son, james, who's 18 and only cycled two twenty milers(under 18 international running champ thou)
We all stayed together for twenty miles until the lumps started to get steeper, James and Richard carried on to do the 75. The climbs then came relentless and started to take their tole, rob dropped back abit and ended up cycling with Chris Boardman for 15 miles before rob had second wind and took off after us. Ben was suffering with bad cramp after 60 miles and the climbs kept on coming, so I pushed on to the finish! We all finished in the top 50 in the 100mile  and James and Richard finished high up in the 75 mile, good going for such tough ride
