So we are part way in to the Bike Bath weekend now – yesterday the Midsummer Madness mountain bike ride kicked things off with a great, challenging 11 mile route around the south of Bath and today the first three sportive rides took place.
We hired out the three road bikes we have for hire halfway through the week to a group of Americans, who after some practice rides during the week, then took on the 60 mile route today.
All three had a great time – they found the route to be well marked and easy to follow and the food stops to be well stocked with tasty food.
They were also all grateful for the mudguard equipped road bikes, as the rain through the night and morning left the roads muddy and wet!
