The Sportive season seems to go on forever and the Gorrick Autumn racing will soon be starting. What is so exciting about this time of year is the start of the night riding. Ask about lights then next time that you are in the shop.
 
Whatever you ride, where ever you ride and however you ride - Enjoy!
