The Fast boys on their Training Ride this morning headed towards the Wye Valley.
9 left Glos and one drooped off at Lea.
The route took them through Tiberton, out to Huntley to the main road, then onto the long climb up towards Lea & Pontshill, where we turned off heading parallel to the River Wye towards Goodrich.
The route then climbed up into English Bicknor, Coleford and on past Cannop ponds onto Parkend, for the left turn and the climb out of there. Then onto Upper Soudley up into Littledean .
We then went through the picturesque Flaxley Valley onto the A48 at Westbury on Severn for a very fast Ride into Gloucester, it was on here where the elastic stretched due to the blistering pace Tim Butler was setting on the front, which left riders strewn out .Everyone got back safely to enjoy a coffee at Correttos .
It was a great Group ride of 54 miles,with 3,300 ft of climbing and averaging 19-20 mph .
