April
Mark rode his 31st Dorset Coast – its becoming a bit of a habit now! Then Mark & Wendy went to ride the Witham westerly – another visit to Wallys café and Wendys first sub 12 hour ride. A gent relying on GPS technology passed us in several directions very close to the finish thue ensuring that we weren’t last!

Mark rode the Hop Garden event in Kent – It took as long as the dorset Coast and was almost as hilly!
Wendy came back from a trip to america and slipped in “The Anoracks Delight” just before the end of the month.
