Faces of the Cyclone

Some sharp shots taken by Stu B. Results and split times are on the Sportident website and a range of official photos on the marathon photos website.

Virgin Money Cyclone

There was a good turn-out yesterday for the Virgin Money Cyclone. The long course for this sportive around Northumberland is 104 miles long with 7800ft of ascent. A couple of shorter events were organised as well. The route takes in Rothbury, Otterburn Bellingham and Wark and some perky climbs peppered along the way.
Blessed with reasonable weather, club members had a good day out although every body had their own tale of derring-do and the trials and tribulations that come with a chunky bit of mileage.

No doubt more reports to come with the results soon. In the meantime some snals (thanks Mrs M). Well done all.
