13 intrepid riders set out from Swansea on Sunday 4th July on the British Heart Foundation Gower Ride; 9 from Newport Olympic and 4 representing Newport Velo and all returned safely in just over 2 hours covering 29 miles around the beautiful Gower peninsula under threatening skies that sprinkled a little rain but not enough to put off the gang.
The Newport Velo entires were Rees Britton and Sam, Emily and James Tillett; all under 12 with the adults managing to keep up with them mostly! This offered the kids a fantastic opportunity to experience a "mini Sportif" with riders of varying ability and equipment all around them in the mass start and on the open roads with good signage and marshalling. Although definitely not a race the pace was challenging with a couple of steep hills to interest the climbers.
A great event worth supporting next year and maybe we can have an even larger attendance. If each entry raises the minimum £50 sponsorship then a good contribution to fighting heart disease as well as a good day out.
