Well, what a day Sunday the 3rd July was! All the work and the worry paid off and we delivered our first sportive starting in Mamil's home town of Bridgnorth and sending 172 riders over the Clee Hill and, for the more adventuresome, the Long Mynd as well. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day and a traffic free High Street which certainly helped things along as did the detailed planning and organisation (thank you particularly the wonderful Mrs Britton).
We are all riders here at Mamil Towers as are most of our families and mates who turned out to help us at signing on, feed stations, motor cycling marshalls, international rider rescue and the like. Most important for us what that we gave our riders, everyone of them, a proper day out on the bike and value for their 20 or 15 quid. I hope we did. I think we did. No damn it, I'm sure we did. James and Charlie, two of our lads rode it with Ash helping with photographic duties - you don't put your kids into something you don't have faith in.
If you rode it, please give us your feedback. Next year we want to keep the same friendly family feel but will always look at ways to make things better.
What a great day. More to come.
