If you haven't spotted by now then the annual bike fest that is HONC (Hell of the North Cotswolds) is now live and online here:

HONC is a 50k or 100k off road endurance bike ride around the hills of Winchcombe, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. More information can be found on the website here:

It's hilly muddy, wet and hilly. Did I mention the hills ? A lot of it is on track lanes with high hedges at the side stop a lot of amazing panorama shots, so it's a devil of a job to catch the action in the mud and water along the ride without getting run over.
So for those of you of a cycling mind but with a road bike - then you might like this one next Sunday - over near the Chilterns :

| All the way from Essex for the day, special gloves too. |
 |
| Mud, lots of it. Not good for cameras, but fun for bikes |
 |
| release cleats !, release cleats! oops. |
 |
| You stay cleaner the faster you go |
 |
| Support throughout the course |
 |
| Over the years this tree has been grown specially to hide people taking the bridge instead of the water |
 |
| The water is far far more fun |
Until next time, enjoy the gallery !
