HONC, F3 Sportive and Denbies all live

Spring is busy springing at last with the flowers and sun finally creeping out for a great Sundays rides and races. It made the outdoor work slightly more pleasant after the torrid winter we have had - not wearing waterproofs for the first time in about four months was nice.


Click on the links below to go directly to your galleries to see yourselves having far too much fun:

Sunday 11/04/2010	F3 Sportive 2010
Sunday 11/04/2010	HONC 2010
Sunday 11/04/2010	Denbies 10 2010

The first event - the F3 Events Sportive based out of Shiplake college saw several hundred riders taking on either a 100km or a 100mile tour around the rolling hills of the Chilterns.

Pictured below is the winner of the 16 mile stage sprint section - beating two of his close rivals to the line...

Meanwhile over at Denbies saw the first 10 mile race run out from the vinyard. Some great views, historic landmarks up at the top of the downs and a nice run home to the vinyard itself (who wouldn't be sprinting home for that?)

Over at the north cotswolds, there was Hell taking place...(HONC) - well not for this guy - he didn't go throug ht estream like the hardcore guys...

anyway, I could go on but it looks like you all had a load of fun.

Also, finally got google analytics working on the site to do action-tracking - which is showing up  a whole heap of data about how you navigate the gallery. Fingers crossed I'll be able to use it to make it better for you all !!

Cheers for now and enjoy the photos and our hard work !

A few moments from the weekend:

It was good that the rain cleared and it was a dry run out on the Easter Sunday at Dorney lake for the F3 Duathlon - the run course was down the south side of the lake, instead of the service road.

The Sparks 10k had a good level of support again from an inspiring number of individuals - some needed a well deserved lie down afterwards.

The Lewes Easter Fun Runs started off with the controlled chaos of the toddler trot - with chocolate prizes for all the finishers

No such luck for the 2 mile fun run runners - they had to work hard for their Easter Eggs

No prizes for guessing who won the Easter 10k at Lewes (ref: right hand person in the image) - although hello to the chap who came second - that was a new one for us ! Good running !

Personal pride in my daughter finishing her second 800m race, not quite going to be a member of the BMC yet... time will tell.

The Steyning Duathlon photos are online, they are just so fresh I've not had a chance to get an image for the blog - although we did find this person posing infront of the prize sponsors board...well done Tam !

With two weeks to go to the Brighton Marathon - if you're doing it I hope all your preparations are going well, and the last bit of long run is going to be injury free. It's a busy month ahead for us a spring springs - so get your warm weather training shoes on and get out there soon - I look forwards to seeing you later !
