Winchcombe Falling Leaves 100 - Sunday 4th October

This event is highly commended and has a huge amount to offer in terms hills and scenery. I have entered for the fourth year in a row.

100km cycling event starting from Winchcombe, Glos. Controls at Duntisbourne Abbots, Coln St Aldwyns and Great Rissington, plus 2 information controls.

A tough but scenic event showing the Cotswolds in their Autumn colours. Be prepared for some steep hills

And a good day was had by all, apart from the mist and the fog and it being rather chilly (cold!) for the first few hours :cry:

Oh and the **flat** fairy making a double visit to the same person in our little group of four. :x

But never the less. once the sun had poked through it warmed up and proved to be a lovely afternoon 8)

+1

Despite being 100km in length and shorter than some of our club runs, so I have always found this event to be challenging. This finish line was very much welcomed.
